Now of course, entertaining video producers are not always that happy about this according to Techcrunch.  An entertaining, if not over the top film short, a replay  of the pivitol scene in Downfall shows Hitler getting told of the acquisition.

Back to the actual acquisition, while FriendFeed does not have any ground breaking technology, it will help Facebook users share their information and content across platforms.  Terms of the deal were not disclosed but according to Comscore, Facebook was the 8th most trafficked site in April.
