Mucho mini-roundup on Facebook, Microsoft and Google
October 25th, 2007– Terrence Russell says Microsoft really didn’t overpay for it’s Facebook stake.
– A journalist shill says Facebook is tripling up with some hedge funds while the going’s hot.
– A credible source tries making sense of it all and concludes by inference that people never learn (even if the lesson just whacked their friends on the side of the head).
– Still others are laughing that the joke’s not on them.
Is this just a distraction? Did Google get Microsoft to pay a quarter-billion for some ad potential just as online advertising begins slipping?
UPDATES:
- Kara Swisher annihilates, with courtesy and professionalism.
- Rumors by fake people have been picked up by the real. Note: that doesn’t necessarily validate anything.
- Josh Catone opines it may be all about search.
- Paul Kedrosky says Microsoft is now cursed.
Meanwhile…
More apps targeting humans with no money. And bad credit. All those ads, and no buying power. Hmm.
STILL MORE:
The Microsoft investment instantly makes MySpace worth $65 billion.
