SUNNYVALE, Calif. — Yahoo has bought Silicon Valley startup Bignoggins Productions as part of its quest for more bright ideas in mobile applications.
The acquisition of Bignoggins announced Monday is the latest in a series of mostly small deals that Yahoo Inc. has completed since the Internet company hired Marissa Meyer as its CEO nearly a year ago.
Mayer, a longtime executive with Google Inc. before defecting to Yahoo, has been paying relatively small amounts to bring in more compelling technology and mobile engineering talent.
