    Facebook has purchased social sharing service FriendFeed. Financial terms of the deal were not released, although FriendFeed had raised just over $5 million in venture funding.

    Facebook has hinted in the past that it was interested in making an acquisition. In raising $200 million from Russian investor Digital Sky Technologies in late May, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the new cash opened the possibility of “strategic options.” And Facebook also reportedly made a bid for Twitter last fall.
