- Failed Acquisition (Takeover)
- Back in 2009, Facebook acquired a News Feed-like social network, FriendFeed.
- After maintaining FriendFeed for the last five years, Facebook decided to wind down FriendFeed on April 9, 2015.
- The statement Facebook gave to Re/code stated, “We’ve been maintaining the service for the last five years, but usage has been declining steadily and the community is now just a fraction of what it once was. Given this, we’ve decided that its time to start winding things down. Our thanks go out to the FriendFeed community for its many years of support.”
- The reason behind their shutdown was because they had no users.
- The users that they had were, even though it was active, it was a small community of users that kept FriendFeed going.
- Bret Taylor, Ex CTO of Facebook, stated on a Quora post, “Very few people used it anymore, and most of the engineers who knew how to keep things running had moved on to other projects or companies. At some point, the technical burden of keeping the service up was just not worth it”.
FriendFeed had no users.
