CNBC 刚刚报道了一则消息，称微软将以 3 到 5 亿美元的价格收购 5% 的 Facebook 股权，这听起来似乎有些荒诞，按照这样的计算，Facebook 总价值要达到 100 亿美元了，可能么？这点也不是 HUNG 说了算，个人的感觉应该没有这么高的价格。CNBC 这份报导源自于华尔街日报的一则消息，简文如下：

"Microsoft Corp. is in talks with Facebook Inc. about making an investment in the social-networking startup that could value Facebook at $10 billion or more, according to people familiar with the matter.

The talks set up another likely face off between tech titans: Google Inc. has also expressed strong interest in a possible Facebook investment, said people familiar with the matter.

Microsoft's approach to Facebook in recent weeks with proposals to invest in the fast-growing site is part of the software giant's effort to catch up with the Internet rival Google….The people familiar with the matter said that the discussions are still preliminary and Facebook could wind up not taking an investment from either Microsoft or Google. Factors in the discussions include the valuation the suitors would offer to Facebook and other business considerations they could contribute to sweeten any deal."

在 Yahoo 和 Google 分别正在准备各自的综合性社会化网络的时候，如果传言属实，微软此种的选择将是相当明智的，将可以在社会化网络这一块市场里，继续和两个对手周旋。
