The Year in Facebook Acquisitions 2011
Facebook’s acquisitions in 2011 suggest a strong focus on mobile technology and talent, as seven of the 14 startups acquired this year had previously been working on mobile ventures.
In September, Facebook announced it had 350 million monthly active users accessing its services through mobile devices. This was 100 million more than it had said were active on mobile in March. As the social network introduced a mobile app platform to third-party developers in October, we expect it to continue to build its expertise in this area next year.
