I’d probably join Google+ when it removes its age limit. I’ve already migrated all my contacts to Gmail and pictures/videos to Picasa. I have also resumed coding – 3 patches and a plugin in a day is a good start. :) My exams are near too (starting ~September 10), so there would be a bit pause on coding at that time. :(

Update: I’ve permanently deleted it. ;)

Friendfeed is a social bookmarking website which enables you to discover and discuss the interesting stuff on the web. Facebook is a social networking website and gives your the power to share and make the world more open and connected.

According to sources, facebook had also tried to acquire twitter in 2008 at a price of $500 million, but failed.

In the official blog post, friendfeed said:

The FriendFeed team is extremely excited to become a part of the talented Facebook team. We’ve always been great admirers of Facebook, and our companies share a common vision. Now we have the opportunity to bring many of the innovations we’ve developed at FriendFeed to Facebook’s 250 million users around the world and to work alongside Facebook’s passionate engineers to create even more ways for you to easily share with your friends online.

The terms of the deal are still not disclosed, but Facebook said FriendFeed would operate as it has for the time being as the teams determine long-term plans.

You can check out the official press release for more information.
