Does this mean that MS got the better of Google? Google spent 900 million to provide the advertising on MySpace, while MS had to settle on paying an undisclosed, but you can be sure, much much lower price to provide Facebook's ads. I read that MySpace has 10x the users of Facebook, but Facebook's users spend more money on goods (on a per user basis). Depending on how much lower MS spent on Facebook than Google spent on MySpace, MS may have gotten the better deal here. I even remember people on Digg.com saying as much when these deals went down.
Huh, they could even "migrate" a user from one site to another when they went to college. Enforce the separation in high school, but when they're in college they can invite high school friends to see their profile...
MySpace wanes after an IQ (and/or a life) cements in. Facebook has the model, as it's an exclusive club. Why not just make new blocked off Facebooks, as if they intermingle, it will kill Facebook.
My prediction, lottsa these 'grow grow grow' Webby companies will hit a curve and they won't be able to manage the post-hype era, and will Planet Hollywood themselves out, maybe with a few embezzlement Krispy Kreme donuts sagas all along the way.
But always room for a new new thing, easy to copy, jazz it up, out market it...nature of the market.
But why, when it's so much fun to watch you try to push your "BLOGS ARE ALL THAT MATTERS IN EVERYTHING" agenda, and that look of canine confusion you continually get when you find out otherwise.
over.
and over.
and over again.

Hey we're hiring!
My name is Jeff Sandquist. I lead the team that creates a little thing at Microsoft called the Evangelism Network. We're really famous for Channel 9. Channel9.msdn.com is probably one of the number video blogs on the planet with over 3.5 million unique visitors every month coming and visiting it and watching videos to learn about Microsoft technologies. Last few months we've launched something new call 10 - you're viewing the video on right now.
I'm looking for someone to help lead this team for me. Laura, Tina and Jesse are driving content and so forth - they need a leader. Not just a manager, but a leader. Someone that is going to lead the cause for 10 forward. I'm looking for somebody that is totally into, uh, understanding enthusiasts. You know, When I'm thinking of enthusiasts, these are people who are using technology to create art, music, photography, managing videos, their music collections, creating music. People don't get excited about computing just for the sake about computing anymore. They get excited about taking their passions and applying technology to it.
With 10, we want to create a place for those people. Sometimes telling the Microsoft story, sometimes not. But, if you're looking for a key lead job, and really helping us drive together what we think will grow into be another top video blogging communities on the web, send me an e-mail. Jeffsand at Microsoft dot com. Put in the subject line "10 Lead Job" and I want you to do two things.
One, tell me about a really interesting problem that you've solved with technology. Two, tell me things that you're really proud of, the work that you're doing. You know, do it in a creative way. Put it up on a video on YouTube. Send me an e-mail with links to websites of things that you've created. But here's an opportunity to drive a global cause around enthusiasts and technology.
The end!
So maybe I will think about decals now. I am planning to move to Panama or Costa Rica now since I am a Libertarian and like the idea of NO armies in the country that I am living in.
Panama seems to have a great Internet which I will find out this coming February, so we will see see. I want to retire and I think that California is not the place to do that
On the other hand, if they create a growth spurt that fakes increased demand, they might finally get Viacom to bite the bullet and drop the 2 Billion they want.

My advise for anybody trying it though would be to check the surface first - the thinkpad will be hell of work to get them off for the next round of stickers.
There is actually one I removed and that is the windows sticker. Reason? Not what you might think: It was reflecting the sun so much that I was disturbed heavily while working.
