Damn! I didn’t want it to happend, but it did… Microsoft bought 1,6% of Facebook, and with that amongst other things, the right to all the ads on Facebook outside of the US.
Some analytics believe that the deal is a huge risk for Microsoft, if they can’t make it into the next operatingsystem that everyone uses.
Whats bothering me, is all the information Microsoft get there hands on with this deal. I havn’t read what Mircosoft can or can´t do with there share, but I guess that they get access to some of all the information about the users. Especially sense this news about that the “contract” states, that every user happily say “Yes” to, but few actualy read! It basecly states that the picture and the information the user submits belongs to Facebook.
Say hello to new big brother: MicroBook and FaceSoft!
Update:
Wonderfull words for Bob Lefsetz how the principal of the Facebook/Mircrosoft deal could be applied on the record industry!
