Microsoft Wins!

Beating out Google, Microsoft will buy 1.6% of Facebook for a mere $240 million. The amount will value Facebook at $15 billion. Of course, what Microsoft was really buying was screwing Google out of controlling ad space on one of the most popular websites in America.

Either way, not bad for a company with $150 million in ad revenue started up by a college kid.
