So the war continues between the two Giants of the Tech world. Once again Microsoft and Google have battled it out…this time in the ADVERTISING WORLD? I’ve reported earlier in the month on how Google and MySpace have connected on a $900 Million Dollar Advertising deal but I don’t believe I mentioned that Microsoft was trying to get that deal before Google, so I’ve been hearing. Apparently MySpace said “bug off” and Google got the deal for a “few more dollars”. Well, apparently Microsoft decided to go to “the next big thing”: Facebook.com …but is it REALLY the next big thing? While neither Microsoft nor Facebook.com have given details on the Price of this deal - sources say it was for approximately $750 Million.

Now if you ask me - why would you not give an extra $50-100 Million Dollars to a site with 100,000,000 Profiles and continuous top 5 traffic rather than Facebook.com for $150 million LESS than what Google has given MySpace and who’s traffic is not even in the top 50?

Sometimes I’m a little worried about Microsoft and their Business decisions to save a few bucks… much like their new MP3 Player called Zune, which is supposed to be the IPod Killer. They have said publicly that they will spend Hundreds of Millions and Lose money to see this product succeed… uhhhhhh, okay?

I’m anxious to see how Microsoft plans to get their Company back on track… especially with Windows Vista’s continuing downfall of bugs and pushbacks!
