Facebook recently announced that they have acquired the team behind the blogging platform, Storylane.
The platform’s founder, Jonathan Gheller, blogged about the news in the Storylane website earlier today telling Storylane members that they have already been acquired by Facebook. Gheller stated that being acquired is an exciting opportunity for the team and that “Facebook's mission of connecting the world has always been at the center of our work, and like our friends at Facebook, meaningful connections are what our team is most passionate about.”
He added that the stories users created are theirs to keep and share in any way they want, and that the team is building easy to use tools to help users transfer their content to other blogging services. Gheller also added that Facebook would not acquire any of the users’ data.
The acquisition of Storylane is part of Facebook’s plan to have their News Feed look more personalized. The Storylane team will be responsible for the redesign of the new News Feed to transform it into a personalized newspaper for each Facebook user.
