Facebook buys friendfeed


Facebook buys friendfeed for an undisclosed amount. This makes the second acquisition for Facebook and has propelled the founders of Friendfeed to Facebook’s engineering team. The four founders of Friend feed were former Google employees and started the company in 2007 proving why droves of entrepreneurs left Google when the going was good and formed social startups ripe for acquisition.

So it’s only a question of when not if Twitter will get acquired….and will it be by a likely candidate like Google, Facebook or Microsoft or a left field surprise that only Internet can deliver.
