FriendFeed, the next one on the list of biggest companies acquired by Facebook, which was founded by four ex-Google employees, helped track the activities of your friends on different social networks. It was like a real-time feed aggregator that consolidated updates from many social websites. FriendFeed was bought by Facebook for $15 million in cash and $32.5 million in stock in 2009. In addition to that, Facebook also managed to add ex-Googlers like Paul Buchheit to its team, who were responsible for creating Gmail. FriendFeed was closed down in April 2015.
