Google, Facebook... going steady?
There has been recent speculation that Google and Facebook may be getting closer than online acquaintances should.
Based on Google’s purchase of YouTube and Doubleclick, it is clear that when Google wants Google gets and money is no object. However if Google acquires Facebook, a deal that is believed to be already in the make, the search and advertising giant will need to take careful steps not to harm its (still pending) $900 million agreement with MySpace.
MySpace is responsible for nearly 11 percent of Google's search traffic.
"There does not currently appear to be a non-compete clause in the Google/MySpace agreement; however, Google's prospective acquisition of Facebook may drive Murdoch - and MySpace - into the loving arms of Yahoo." Marketing Vox
Rumors of a Murdoch/Yahoo barter for MySpace are far from being new.
