Facebook名花有主...
刚刚从blog上看到“谣言”说Facebook成为了香饽饽没多长时间，谣言就变成了现实：（from: ）
While the storyline would have been more dramatic if Facebook had spurned its current ad-serving partner Microsoft for Google, it is confirmed that Microsoft has won
the deal. It will invest $240 million in Facebook and expand its existing relationship to international markets, according to the WSJ. (The previous advertising relationship was only for the U.S., now Microsoft is Facebook’s exclusive advertising partner both in the U.S. and abroad until 2011) The $240 million is a minority stake that values the company at $15 billion. So that comes out to less than a 2 percent stake for Microsoft, which is much smaller than 5 percent stake that was bandied about earlier. (Update: During the conference call, Facebook left open the possibility that more investors may be included in this round of financing, though it declined to disclose who those investors may or may not be. But that does open the door to Facebook raising more than the $240 million).
前面New york post中传说的valuation 还是太大了些。
