Facebook adquiere Friendfeed

Facebook acaba de adquirir la red social FriendFeed, tal y como se puede leer en el blog de Friendfeed. El precio de la compra aún se desconoce. Con la compra pasarán a formar parte del equipo de Facebook varios de los "top ex-Googlers", entre los que que se encuentra Paul Buchheit, responsable de la creación de Gmail y de los productos publicitarios, Bret Taylor, Jim Norris y Sanjeev Singh. ¿Será el paso previo al asalto de Twitter?


The FriendFeed team is extremely excited to become a part of the talented Facebook team. We've always been great admirers of Facebook, and our companies share a common vision. Now we have the opportunity to bring many of the innovations we've developed at FriendFeed to Facebook's 250 million users around the world and to work alongside Facebook's passionate engineers to create even more ways for you to easily share with your friends online.

What does this mean for my FriendFeed account?

FriendFeed.com will continue to operate normally for the time being. We're still figuring out our longer-term plans for the product with the Facebook team. As usual, we will communicate openly about our plans as they develop — keep an eye on the FriendFeed News group for updates.

What about the FriendFeed API?

The FriendFeed API will also continue to operate normally. As above, we will let you know as we settle on our plan to more fully integrate with Facebook.
