Strands, the Corvallis startup formerly known as MyStrands (which was formerly known as MusicStrands), says this morning that it's acquired a small online personal finance company called Expensr.

Strands also launched a personal finance service, moneyStrands, designed to give out personalized recommendations for financial information.

Strands is an online social networking service that delivers customized suggestions for music and other things site users might enjoy.

No word on how much Strands paid for Expensr, which was based in San Francisco (and, Strands tells me, will stay there). Here's a writeup from Business 2.0 last summer, which pegged Expensr as one of 10 companies forecast to be among "The Next Disruptors."
