Facebook Picks Up Much of Dogpatch Labs Startup Recrec's Team

In another not-quite-a-talent-acquisition, most of the founding team of Dogpatch Labs-incubated startup Recrec is going to Facebook.

Two of the cofounders are going to work under Jocelyn Goldfein on the product engineering team. Recrec was working on an interesting technology that automatically converted images into HTML and CSS. The company’s founders also have some experience on the Facebook platform, as one of them developed an application called Easter Eggs that reached 300,000 users in March 2008.

This was a talent hiring, rather than a a traditional acquisition.
