A few months ago, Facebook welcomed its quarter-billionth member and the social networking site may just be unstoppable.
It recently acquired FriendFeed, as announced by group product manager and co-founder Bret Taylor on the site's official friendblog. On top of this project, Taylor was also responsible for launching GoogleMaps.
For those not in the know, FriendFeed allows users to share information with one another that they discover across the web. Like-minded individuals can come together to form groups and swap links, photographs and video.
Users are invited to comment on posts, thus facilitating conversation and further social networking.
Now this tool has joined Facebook because, as Taylor explains, both platforms 'share a common vision of giving people tools to share and connect with their friends.'
While this collaboration has become official, FriendFeed seems to be unsure as to what their next step will be and how the service can maintain its individuality while working with Facebook.
'We're still figuring out our longer-term plans for the product with the Facebook team,' Taylor explained via the company's official blog.
Meanwhile, Facebook fans can still use the News Feed feature with other users to communicate and discover new links and stories.
