Back in September we broke the news that Google was in talks to acquire Katango, a small Kleiner Perkins-backed startup that launched this past summer. Today, they've made it official: Katango just announced that it's been acquired by Google, and that it'll be joining the Google+ team.Katango is a logical fit for Google. The startup first debuted an iPhone app in July that tackled a problem many of us are familiar with: it made it easier to selectively share with various groups of friends on Facebook. Facebook's List feature has long allowed users to share certain pieces of content with different friends, but it did little to automate the process of actually breaking your friends out into different groups. That's where Katango came in: you'd connect the app with your Facebook social graph, and it would analyze your friends to automatically sort them into different buckets.
