Again facebook create uproar of the internet.
It is said that CEO Mark Zuckerberg of facebook has rejected an offer of $ 15 billion from Microsoft (CEO Steve Ballmer).
This was revealed by Fritz Lanman as Senior Director of corporate strategy and acquisitions from microsoft. Lanman said this at LeWeb tech conference.
"Yes, we tried to be obtained," Lanman said during an interview on stage, according to reports TechCrunch. "so have many similarities with Microsoft back in the day."
Lanman also add that when facebook rejected up Microsoft's $ 15 billion the offer, Microsoft is now just invested $ 240 million for a small stake in this company.
But thats not the ending, because from there Microsoft and Facebook continue to work together. In October they announced that they were teaming up to make search more social. As a part of that partnership, Facebook’s search, which is powered by Microsoft’s Bing, is making it easier to find people on the social networking site.
Lanman also said that Facebook could one day be worth as much as Microsoft.
Dan Olds, an analyst at Gabriel Consulting Group also said "From this news we can describe that is easy to say that Microsoft missed a huge opportunity in not buying Facebook when Ballmer met with Zuckerberg,.“ But Microsoft offered a huge amount of cash and was repeatedly turned down. Since it’s a private company, the best [Microsoft] could do was to take a small stake for $240 million. that's a good offer for facebook.
and Who dare to says that Facebook would have been nearly as successful if Microsoft had bought them and taken over?” Dan Olds asked. “For all we know, Microsoft might have screwed it up.”
lol...
