Holy freak of everything. I just found out Microsoft just bought an ownership stake in Facebook, beating out Google in a bidding war. I have no idea if this means something good or bad, but it sure is interesting.
Here's the article "Source: Microsoft wins Facebook bid battle" from CNet.
Ok, while I don't have any idea, truthfully it makes me nervous. I keep wondering how much life is left in Facebook, and had expected it to be gone (like MySpace) or completely different in two years. Now that a large corporation has bought into it, I expect that "completely different" option is off the table. Large companies just seem unwilling to make huge changes to a product which was successful at one point in time.
Sadly, I expect Facebook will be gone, replaced by some other social networking site, within a few years.
Peace,
+Tom
