Facebook Acquires Group Messaging Service Beluga In A Talent AND Technology Deal
Facebook has just acquired group messaging service Beluga, we've learned. Here's what we know: Facebook has acquired both the product and the team, and the plan is apparently to keep the service open for now. With past�acquisitions, Facebook has only acquired companies for their talent. But this time it's apparently a bit different, as they're interested in both the talent and the technology behind Beluga. It was barely two months ago that we first wrote about Beluga ? when I called it my "group messaging white whale". Since then I've been a non-stop user of the service and figured it would be one of the stand-out stars at SXSW this year. Today changes things a bit, obviously.
