Congratulations to Karma but is Facebook on a race with Google for the number of startups acquired this year?

  This acquisition smells more like Yahoo than Google. I guess Facebook is going to make a bit to consolidate as many services as possible into their social network. I wonder how that's going to impact usability.

    Which purchased startups has Facebook actually integrated into their product? I can't think of any. Friendfeed and Instagram have kept running as standalone projects. The rest have been shut down without any Facebook features that are clear successors.

      Facebook has made it pretty clear that the majority of their acquisitions have been for talent not technology.
