Facebook bought drop.io - File sharing will be the next Facebook feature

Facebook number one social networking website bought drop.io and closing down file sharing service by 15th of December. Facebook is really good at sharing picture but not the media files. This will make them strong in real time file sharing as well.
drop.io blog announced that most their service and assets including Sam Lessin were bought by Facebook. 

"Today, we’re proud to announce that we’ve struck a deal with Facebook. What this means is that Facebook has bought most of drop.io’s technology and assets, and Sam Lessin is moving to Facebook."

In the coming weeks, drop.in will be winding down the their service. As of this week, people will no longer be able to create new free drops, but you’ll be able to download content from existing drops until Dec. 15. Paid user accounts will still be available through Dec. 15 and paid users will be able to continue using the service normally. After Dec. 15, paid accounts will be discontinued as well.

Please download your information before Dec. 15 – they plan to delete it after that time. No user data or content will be transferred to Facebook.

Soon you will be able to experience similar services from Facebook. We are still not sure is it going to be a free service or a paid service or what exactly Facebook plans with drop.io
