As we spent time with Mark and his leadership team, we were impressed by the open, creative culture theyve built and their desire to have us contribute to it, says FriendFeed cofounder Paul Buchheit.

It was immediately obvious to us how passionate Facebooks engineers are about creating simple, groundbreaking ways for people to share, and we are extremely excited to join such a likeminded group.Buchheit was the Google engineer behind Gmail and the originator of Googles Dont be evil motto.Since I first tried FriendFeed, Ive admired their team for creating such a simple and elegant service for people to share information, said Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook founder and CEO. As this shows, our culture continues to make Facebook a place where the best engineers come to build things quickly that lots of people will use.
