Facebook Buys FriendFeed For Undisclosed Dollar Amount

August 10, 2009

The largest social media web site on the internet, Facebook has just purchased FriendFeed
Boston (DbTechNo) - The largest social media web site on the internet, Facebook has just purchased FriendFeed.

FriendFeed will fit perfectly into Facebook’s plan as the site is a place for people to keep track of all their friends, no matter what social media web site they are using.

For now, the services will run separately but in the end they will apparently murge into one, presumibly Facebook.

“Facebook has a really unique opportunity for our team to reach a significant percentage of the world, and that was an opportunity I think everyone on our team was extremely excited about,” said FriendFeed co-founder Bret Taylor.

This is true because Facebook has more than 250 million users.

All 12 people who work for FriendFeed will now assume jobs with Facebook.
