Hey guys, I haven’t been around here in quite some time, but I noticed this post at TechCrunch about Darius’s big day. [http://www.techcrunch.com/2010/01/21/social-media-identity-startup-knowem-acquires-friendscall-me/](http://www.techcrunch.com/2010/01/21/social-media-identity-startup-knowem-acquires-friendscall-me/)

> Startup KnowEm, which helps both large companies and small businesses stake their brand claim in social media landscape and manage their presence on these sites, has recently acquired [FriendsCall.Me](http://FriendsCall.Me), a similar service, for an undisclosed amount.

[FriendsCall.Me](http://FriendsCall.Me) launched in April 2009, and like KnoweEm, helped both individuals and companies mange and secure their identity in the social web. [FriendsCall.Me](http://FriendsCall.Me) was the brainchild of Darius Monsef IV, the creator of the design community, [COLOURlovers.com](http://COLOURlovers.com), and community organizer for Microsoft’s [Photosynth.com](http://Photosynth.com). Existing [FriendsCall.Me](http://FriendsCall.Me) customers will automatically be transferred to KnowEm’s service.
