Comments on: Why Microsoft will buy Facebook and become the #1 http://www.lucafiligheddu.com/2008/05/why-microsoft-will-buy-facebook-and-become-the-1.html Social Media, VoIP and a lot of Tech News Thu, 11 Mar 2010 07:49:46 -0800 hourly 1 By: Khyle http://www.lucafiligheddu.com/2008/05/why-microsoft-will-buy-facebook-and-become-the-1.html/comment-page-1#comment-5487 Khyle Mon, 19 May 2008 19:46:39 +0000 http://www.lucafiligheddu.com/?p=2250#comment-5487 I don't buy that MS and FB are closing the web. First, I don't see how the Yahoo! Search business and the Facebook buy are tied together. MS could use their own search engine to crawl Facebook's data. And on a side note, I don't know that Facebook is as sticky as some people think it is. I like it, but I think that there are too many moving parts to say that it is going to hold it's position long term. So even if it happens, I don't think it's that huge of a problem for Google.
