How exactly does this help Facebook? They reported today that they get 8 Billion minutes per day. That's per day. 2 Billion photos get uploaded each month. They have 300 million users, 50% of whom log in each day. How exactly do they benefit from allowing search engines to share their content with the outside world? Increased page views? – actually the contrary. If people don't need to go to facebook to see updates or friends information, they'll get it off Bing and reduce their facebook use. It be one thing if facebook were integrating Bing and forcing all Bing users to use facebook. Whoever negotiated this for facebook probably worked for IBM in a previous career — ya know, the one who said "let the nerdy kid from Seattle have the license revenue…it won't amount to anything."

Fortunately for Facebook, their users will probably explode in rage and force them to drop this silly deal

This is certainly one example.

why wouldn't microsoft finally get up off their wallet and pay whatever it takes to finally OWN something that might have a future.

i read somewhere else to "stay tuned: google will most likely be signing their deals in the next few weeks"

yeah, maybe they'll just BUY them.
