Google Lining Up to Buy TheFaceBook?
Just the other day TheFaceBook got blogosphere's attention by pulling a Google like move and turned down an offer of $750 million and said they were holding out for $2 billion. It wasn't too long ago that Sergey and Larry turned down an offer from Lycos to buy the upstarting Google, that seemed to turn out ok for them.Now there are reports that Google is selling off some 5.3 million shares. If you do the math, Google's stock price is around $395 per share x 5.3m, that equals roughly $2.1 billion.
