Facebook Acquires eBook Developer Push Pop Press

Could this be the next AOL? Facebook has just acquired Push Pop Press, creator of Al Gore’s Our Choice eBook app.

The financial details haven’t been disclosed, but PPP did say that “we’re taking our publishing technology and everything we’ve learned and are setting off to help design the world’s largest book, Facebook.” PPP will be getting out of the eBook  making business and  will be focusing its efforts on internal Facebook development.

Most stories about this deal won’t look beyond today’s news, but I’m more interested in how this is going to change things in the future.
