Facebook has acquired friend.ly, creator of a question and answer application for getting to know other people on the social network.
Friend.ly lets people answer questions within their social network.
“We’re excited about this because we feel the spirit of friend.ly aligns well with Facebook’s vision, and we’re thrilled to be joining such an innovative company. The friend.ly team will be focusing on new projects at Facebook, but friend.ly will continue to operate as a separate service.”
Other acqui-hires have gone on to do great things at Facebook. Sam Lessin, for example, led the charge on Facebook’s new timeline feature.
