MySpace being played off of Facebook against Microsoft’s bid for Yahoo!

by Jason Preston on February 14, 2008

A little while ago a pointed you all to a post explaining how the $15bn Facebook valuation could have been a carefully designed trap laid out to close off all of Facebook’s exit strategies.

I pointed you to their post because I’m not smart enough to explain the details right.

Today, Fred Wilson, another guy with a lot more financial chops that I’ve got, explains why pulling a maneuver like that can occasionally come back to haunt you.

Another interesting read. And a clue as to why Rupert Murdoch owns most of the world already.
