Google bid $2.3bil for Facebook? Rumors?

by Kamrul

Google buying Facebook?Well seems to be Goggle is becoming synonym of rumors. This time, acquisition of a community site Facebook. Facebook is considerably doing well social network, but not so hot like YouTube deal. It is highly unlikely but hey what you know, a blogsphere rumor sometimes does come out true. A week old Google-YouTube rumor is the proof. The rumors started where I don’t have a clue, but many Blog sites are flying this rumor already. Not to mention some mainstream media, also publishing this rumor.

Threadwatch says
From a source inside YouTube…
GOOG is looking at Facebook at a 2.3bil price. This could be a total joke on their part, but the source is solid.

Analyzing most of the writing looks like Threadwatch started it. Google’s rival yahoo is already having a talk on purchasing Facebook. Since Google already empties 1.6 billion for YouTube, it will be very much impossible that Google will go for Facebook (Even if) for over $2 billion. Google already own some social networking site, latest entry YouTube. Darnell Clayton of Blog Herald expresses same kind of view too.

But I am sure this will be this week’s hottest rumor in Blogspere. Let’s see where it ends.
