Facebook buys Firefox developers

The fast-growing social network Facebook made its first acquisition by purchasing a small software company Parakey . This is a startup Blake Ross and Joe Hewitt, the founders of the project Mozilla Firefox.

Parakey startup has been developing a universal platform for launching software applications both online and offline, which will both be “useful and social - a combination that is so rare in our days.” The platform and the first set of applications for it are still under development, and the entire website consists of one page with two paragraphs of text and an image of a parrot (parakeet).

Now, young Blake and Jo programmers will apply their talents and achievements (if any) in projects under the Facebook Platform. “We are delighted with the opportunity to work in the most innovative company in this industry,” the guys admitted .
