Lockerz Buys Plixi

Seattle-based Lockerz, the social shopping and ecommerce site backed by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, said this morning that it has acquired Plixi (formerly TweetPhoto). Financial terms of the buy were not disclosed. Lockerz said that Plixi will become Lockerz Photos. Plixi operates a photo sharing service--tied to popular microblogging site Twitter--which allows users to post and share their photos to their friends. Lockerz said Plixi is serving up more than 1 billion photos monthly.
