According to one blog, it appears that Microsoft may have the inside track to winning the Facebook bid. Now this is just one person’s opinion, but I think it would be interesting to be inside the negotiations that are going down. The question of course posed by Scoble was if Microsoft understands advertising.
I think that the guys from Redmond understand just a bit about it. Now as far as this being a fact, I wouldn’t bet my last dollar on it. It’s never over until the deal is leaked and announced. Even though he has the inside track, I just wouldn’t feel it’s the Vegas thing to do at this point.
What has kept Facebook the viable company that it is, is that Mark Zuckerberg plays by a whole new rulebook. His own. That is why his company has zoomed to the top of things and the forefront of all discussions. He is writing his own rulebook, and for those that are entrepreneur’s, you have to love it.
Not that I totally agree with everything he has done, it does seem to be working for him. Working quite well. If you jump on Techmeme, you can see all the great fb chatter going on.
Technically Speaking, Scoble called it first, but I will wait for the official announcement. Speaking of Facebook, where the heck are all the fb app developers that want to make some money? How about a few financial bloggers that also want to get paid?
