Facebook hires team behind UX research and design firm Bolt Peters

Bolt Peters will end operations on June 22 to join Facebook’s design team. The firm has fewer than 10 people, but it is unclear how many of them will become employees of the social network. The company, co-founded by CEO Nate Bolt in 2002, has done work for Twitter, Zynga, Pandora and dozens of other well known clients. It also spawned a standalone company, Ethnio, which provides a way for websites to recruit visitors for real-time research.
