Humor aside, Microsoft was simply doing Facebook a favor by giving it a 15 billion dollar valuation. Microsoft isn’t so concerned about owning 1.6% of Facebook as they are about securing ad space and beating Google to the punch.

D’oh! What I meant was don’t just give it away.

That’s what I get for drinking while blogging.

Why, the advertising potential alone on this blog should be worth that much. Listen, friend, just give it away!

Think of all the good things that could be done for the world with $240 million.

To be fair, The Bill And Melinda Gates Foundation is spending vast amounts of money to try to do good things for the world. Microsoft"s a business; nothing wrong with it making acquisitions. Anyone know which 1.6% of Facebook they bought? If it"s the bit that contains everyone I haven"t spoken to since high school and don"t particularly want to hear from, they"re welcome to it.

Hell, Meyer … that is a deal! And Microsoft gets your content, site, et al without the attached hassles of NAAG [National Association of Attorneys General] compliance that plagues, justifiably, a majority of these social Web sites.

Sidebar: You are in a mid-western state that has been aggressive and an active participant with the NAAG to clean out these social sites. Maybe drop a note to your local state representative and ask him/her to keep up the pressure?

MS can have 100% of my stuff for $240,000.

Note: I have nothing to speak of, but it sounds like the right price.
