Interesting strategy by Facebook. First they adopt FriendFeed functionality within their newsfeed now they purchase FriendFeed. Looking forward to hearing more about this acquisition and how it works into FB’s strategy.

Facebook has acquired FriendFeed, we’ve learned. We’re gathering details now.

At this point details on the acquisition are still very sparse, but it’s clearly a good match. Over the last year or so, Facebook has “borrowed” quite a few of features that FriendFeed popularized, including the ‘Like’ feature and an emphasis on real-time news updates.
