Facebook Picks Up Veterans of Second Life-Maker Linden Lab in Talent Acquisition of MailRank

Facebook picks up two veterans of Second Life-maker Linden Lab today in announcing a talent acquisition of MailRank today. Given the background of MailRank’s co-founders, we would bet that Facebook’s director of engineering Cory Ondrejka, who was Linden Lab’s chief technology officer, had a hand in sourcing or facilitating this deal. (He also was acquired in to help lead Facebook’s HTML5 efforts last fall.)

With the acquisition, Facebook gets two former directors of engineering at Linden Lab: Bethanye McKinney Blount and Bryan O’Sullivan.
