Facebook has purchased New York-based social networking startup Branch for an undisclosed sum, adding to its portfolio as it tries to attract new users.
Branch is essentially a modern, user-friendly version of the Internet forum. People create "branches" to discuss topics or links and invite their friends to participate. Thread participants can also branch off into their own separate but related conversations. The start-up last year also launched Potluck, an app to introduce today's generation of social networkers to people beyond their immediate friend circles.
