Facebook Buys WhoGlue, But Not Its Talent

Facebook acquired Baltimore-based social networking software firm WhoGlue Inc. early this month for an undisclosed amount, according to a report from the Baltimore Business Journal.

WhoGlue’s founder, Jason Hardebeck, appears happy to be bought by the company that sued him for patent infringement two years ago over “distributed personal relationship information management system and methods.” Hardebeck will maintain his position at the renamed WhoGlue LLC, which will continue to develop private social networks for its clients.
