What does $240m buy you?

Well, definitely not loyalty! Have a look at Facebook, they are still using Google Maps in the Facebook Events app (which is built by Facebook). When Microsoft paid $240m for less than 2% of Facebook, I’m pretty sure they missed that part in the fine print, or else Facebook would be using Live Maps!

Ok, so now that the word is out – let’s see how long it takes for Facebook to switch to Microsoft Live Maps! Remember, you heard it here first!

    I just read a post today or yesterday talking about how bad Facebook’s 2008 forecast looks. I forgot Microsoft bought 2% of the company and can’t believe they spent $240 million on only 2%.

    That’s pretty funny that they’re still using Google Maps. You’d think they would show a little generosity to such a big investment.
