Will Microsoft buy Facebook? I sure hope not, although this blogger seems to think so. I agree with Scoble’s opinion that “Microsoft doesn’t deserve Facebook.” Facebook needs the vitality it has from being a small company, committed to and living on its community, as these commenters on Scoble’s post say.
I wouldn’t trust Microsoft with it. It seems to me they are too distant from current trends (or at least lagging badly behind them), and certainly from the social networking sphere, to be able to handle it successfully and allow Facebook to grow into the lively network and platform it is destined to become.
What can Facebook become if it is allowed to grow and run its course? What if it is taken in by some larger company like Yahoo or Google? Would they allow its organic processes, or would it be stifled?
UPDATE: Alfred Thompson has another interesting take on this matter of Facebook remaining independent.
