So apparently Parakey, which I mentioned back here just got bought out.. by Facebook. Blake Ross has an amusing post on the topic. :)

In general, this seems like a good move for Facebook - Parakey is still very early in it's development cycle, and Facebook can mold the product more to fit their own vision. Plus, since they don't actually have a released product yet, most other megacorporations probably didn't even consider looking at it, so I'm guessing Facebook didn't have to shell out the big bucks for it.

I just hope that the original vision behind Parakey isn't corrupted too much.
