Pretty interesting app and can see how Facebook could utilize the product. I wonder if we will see more of this consolidation in the market place as the big players buy up smaller ones.
- adhipg 14y agoBut how many such acquisitions actually become 'usable' features in the parent product and how many just end up being talent acquisitions? I don't imagine it's easy to integrate something into core Facebook than essentially just being a part of the product that uses the API - which can just be done by being an independent entity?
- sparknlaunch12 14y agoUnsure of the terms of the deal, but maybe this was simply a talent acquisition plus strategic purchase? Maybe the cost wasn't that high. I am sure an offer to work at Facebook and integrate your product into the FB platform has some intangible appeal.
