Microsoft in talks to buy Facebook?

[ian]

Rumor is that Microsoft is looking to close a deal to buy Facebook for the amazing sum of six billion dollars.

Seems like a nice sum of money.  Wasn't Google looking at purchasing Facebook as well?

just look at how much youtube has changed since they switched over to google servers...that includes ad sense and promoted videos...the same thing is starting to happen on facebook and i hope it doesn't get worse

Well, once Facebook gets bought out.  I think it will definitely end up like Myspace.  Just a mess of ads , promotions, etc...  We're gonna have to migrate to a new site soon and wait for that one to get bought out too.
