Google and MS in final race to acquire Facebook for around USD 10 bn!

1 April 2009 One Comment

After time having elapsed, we can see that the deal for Google to acquire Facebook is not going through. It’s quite possible that Google executives are still talking to Facebook executives about the idea, but I do not think it is a serious discussion — if it exists at all.

One reason I think that Facebook really does not want be acquired, especially by Google, is all the recent executives leaving Google for Facebook.

Sandberg left in March and Schrage left just two months following her lead. Seems like one big happy family over at Facebook these days.

Facebook has a lot more to benefit from by staying as an independent company than it does by going through the acquisition process by a big media conglomerate.

Oops. Ye to April Fool Ban gaya!!
