Lithium Technologies has issued $5.6 million in shares to power its acquisition of Social Dynamx.

Lithium helps brands build social networks that can be used to drive sales and marketing, inform product development, and improve customer service. The idea is that corporations with large user communities and heavy product support needs can engage their most passionate fans to build brand nations.

Social Dynamx’s platform monitors social activity to help large businesses stay tuned in to relevant online conversations and manage their customer care. With this acquisition, Social Dynamx will become part of Lithium’s suite of solutions under the heading Lithium Social Web.
