Facebook and Microsoft deal. Wow. The Bubble is back.
According to Venturebeat, Microsoft has signed a deal to invest $240 million in Facebook. $240 million for.. .less than 2% of Facebook shares.
So, if you take your preferred calculator, you reach a… $15 Billion valuation for Facebook.
MS will leverage Facebook to increase its Web 2.0 awareness, and maybe push Silverlight, boost its Ads business or whatever… But $240 millions for less than 2%, I take the bet. It is overpaid :-).
BTW, let’s take the opportunity to catch up with the Web 2.0 madness. Let’s bet: Who will invest/acquire in hi5.com ?
What do you think?
