Facebook Acquires Daytum for Product Design Team

Daytum, the information tracking startup founded by the famous info-designer Nicholas Felton, has been acquired by Facebook.

Daytum is at least the third New York-based company Facebook has acquired, and its founders will be moving west to join the Facebook product design team at its headquarters.

I wonder if this means we’ll see yet another redesign of the Facebook interface, embracing some of Felton’s famously minimalistic design.
