    The news of Facebook being acquired will be as shocking as the YouTube acquisition. I expect it to be very expensive.

    "Microsoft still shopping; Approached Facebook"
    http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=8758

    Looks like Microsoft has the cash and still looking for web 2.0 sites to buy. I think Facebook is a better purchase than Yahoo if the price is right. At least that will get Microsoft (MSN) an addition social networking feature.

    the company itself is not picking up the speed imo. today a report said 3/4 US social traffic goes to MySpace.

      and the lucrative price that MS gives would become irresistible.

    If they want to be acquired, they would have say yes to Microsoft last year.

    Facebook is getting kind of pricey now. Unless it screwed up badly, I don't see how its price tag will get low enough to be acquired.
