Why Microsoft acquisition of Facebook is nothing to celebrate
As reported earlier on DnsBlogs.com, Microsoft has acquired Facebook.com. However, a series of drastic changes introduced on facebook including a RSS Newsfeed is bound to rebound the popular site for the worst. According to a campaign signed up to now by plus 350 Facebook.com members, 12th September, 2006 will be a boycott day. If the proposed boycott goes through, this is definitely would not be a good start for Microsoft who beat Yahoo to buy Facebook.
According to Forbes online edition, Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook in 2004. The Palo Alto, Calif., company is privately held. ComScore’s MediaMetrix report said the site has about 9 million registered users, making it the seventh-most-popular Internet site in the United States. The site includes geographic, work-related, collegiate and high school networks.
