Google has taken over Plink, a two- person startup. It is the maker of Android application that lets the users identify and recognize artwork and facilitates the user to purchase a print.

Mark Cummins and James Philbin together founded Plink and both the founders will now work for Google Corporation. They both have earned doctorate degree research in the visual geometry groups and mobile robotics from the University of Oxford.

Plinks has made the mobile application which is named as PlinkArt and it became popular among as many as 50,000 users in just a period of four weeks. It provides artwork information to the users and gives them the freedom to share it.

The founders of Plink will be working on the project called Google Goggles. According to Plink's blog, "Google has already shown that it's serious about investing in this space with Google Goggles, and for the Plink team the opportunity to take our algorithms to Google-scale was just too exciting to pass up".

So far, Plink has been recorded as a 10th acquisition by Google in the previous six months. The price of acquisition has not been disclosed by the company.
