Facebook Acquires Web OS Parakey
In their first acquisition, the folks of Facebook decided to buy Parakey, a closed beta web operating system. Blake Ross and Joe Hewitt, the team behind Parakey, will join the Facebook team and start working on the Facebook Platform. For the record, although this term is very often disputed, which can be seen from the comments on my stories on the subject of Web OS, Ross has called Parakey a web operating system himself.
This is another very clear sign that Facebook really intends to become an all-encompassing, powerful and versatile web platform. With Parakey’s technology on board - which provides a way to store your data online and synchronize it with the data on your computer - and their recently opened-up API, with hundreds of new Facebook applications appearing every month, Facebook might become the world’s first big web operating system.

Facebook is on an incredible roll. Murdoch gasps, LinkedIn whimpers, Yahoo and Google pine that their acquisition bids were rejected and Microsoft sits on the perpetual sidelines of the emerging web renaissance. Maybe it’s time that they spend some of their $50 million and payout the estimated $8 to 10 billion dollar facebook valuation? Barring that facebook hits the public markets in 2008.

Is facebook planning on going public? I would think that would be a bit of a conflict as investors would be pressuring facebook to produce higher revenues - possibly spoiling the free flowing environment that facebook was built on.
