I just wish the Harvard trained acquisition accountants and statistical analysts that work at Facebook came to FM to get solid, professional advice. Might save themselves a few billion here and there.

They will have advised them that it's overpriced, but that's what they will have to pay if they want it. I don't know why anyone outside of the facebook investors thinks they know anything more about this deal than the media has reported.

Ultimately, it's like you deciding to spend £50 on the last pair of shoes in Next so that your mate doesn't have them instead. Facebook have plenty of cash reserves to buy it without it ever having an effect on their bottom line, even if it does turn out to be fiscally worthless.

Think back a few years to when Google bought Youtube. Oh, how we laughed.
