Microsoft Trying to Acquire Facebook?
If you can’t buy them, beat ’em? That appears to be the new strategy of Microsoft who according to Kara Swisher is trying to go organic like Granola and acquire as many Web 2.0 properties as possible. This strategy will supposedly differentiate them from Google. One of those companies that they are looking to potentially acquire is Facebook. Will they be willing to give Facebook half the value of Yahoo? Not sure but apparently they are interested in making an acquisition.
If Microsoft went ahead and acquired Facebook it would be the largest social networking acquisition in history and it would also could be one of the most over-valued acquisitions ever.
