Congrats to the GraffitiGeo team! This would seem like a talent acquisition, unless GraffitiGeo had a large amount of active users.

Classic Google tactic of buying early stage companies with great technology and brains. Is this the first time a YC company has acquired another?

There's one I can think of off the top of my head: Posterous acquired Slinkset. There are probably others.
