Beluga has quickly become one of our favorite group messaging/chat/IM clients on Android, so much so that we gave it the old college try during CES in January -- not exactly a time to be testing anything for the first time. But the secret's out, Belga's a hit -- and it just got purchased by Facebook.
The good news is that nothing's changed yet -- Beluga's "Pods" remain, and the service is a cool as it ever was. Here's the official word from Beluga's blog:
Since launching Beluga, we've appreciated all the enthusiasm and positive feedback from our users. We're excited to continue to build our vision for mobile group messaging as part of the Facebook team. Beluga and Facebook are committed to create new and better ways to communicate and share group experiences.
For now, Beluga will continue to function as it does today. Your Beluga account and data will not be lost. We'll be providing more details on future plans for Beluga in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!
It's not too big a leap to imagine Beluga being integrated into Facebook chat. Question is will we still be able to use it outside of the Facebook ecosystem. We'll know when we know. [Beluga]
