Facebook - the new age media i. e., the most popular social networking site recently gulped an under-the-radar company called Octazen Solutions.

The Octazen solutions concentrate upon importing social network users' contacts from e-mail services into their social networks in a synchronized manner.

As the Facebook team says: "We have admired the engineering team's efforts for some time now and this is part of our ongoing effort to add experienced, accomplished technical talent."

The statement speaks of acquisition as very important as it is a strategic step towards an evolving era of connectivity. Social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace etc are growing in number and it also seems that they want to dig in deep with respect to an individual. For example in the case of Ocatazen with Facebook one can determine user relationships on other social networks and e-mail services around the Web. Hence, the social networking always comes with a caution -'invasion of privacy'.
