Facebook Cleaning Out New York Companies
Facebook’s plan to scour New York startups for fresh talent seems to be paying off.

New York startup Zenbe announced Tuesday that Facebook had acquired its email product, along with three engineers. Zenbe shut down its service on Oct. 8. The company says it will be focusing on a Facebook-based photo sharing app called Shindig.
Zenbe is the fourth New York talent acquisition that Facebook has made since August.
