Facebook Teams With RIM, Sells Share To Microsoft

October 27, 2007

The wildly popular social networking site Facebook [PC - Mobile] has had quite the busy week it seems.  Announcing a 1.6 percent sale to Microsoft for $240 Million (easy to do when you post $4.3 Billion Dollars in quarterly profits) that allows Microsoft exclusive rights to sell ads on Facebook.  Sounds like a deal to us. 

Apparently RIM also gets some Facebook love this week (as IT departments across the nation cheer, we’re sure.)  An application was released to allow Blackberry users to get in on the fun by using a optimised version for them.  Messages and other events are pushed automatically to the phone (go figure).
