 9. Face.com – $55-60 million in 2012

Another Israel-based technology company which Facebook bought was Face.com. The company was established in 2009 and specialized in mobile facial recognition. The company subsequently released the Photo Finder and Photo Tagger applications for Facebook. These features are crucial to encourage active conversation on Facebook, as you would want to react to a photograph you have been tagged in (of course the tagging feature is also heavily abused). Face.com was acquired by Facebook for an undisclosed sum estimated to be between $55 and $60 million in October 2012.
