Salesforce.com (NYSE:CRM): After AllThings Digital reported that Salesforce.com was close to a deal to acquire Buddy Media for more than $800M, JMP Securities thinks that the purchase price is “quite expensive.” However, the firm thinks that Buddy would make Salesforce the leader in social marketing.
