微软的240亿美元收购提案 - IT资讯
10月22日，在过去的几年中，Facebook从未缺少买断要约，多家公司都有意将Facebook收购旗下。例如，2006年，雅虎曾欲以10亿美元的价格竞购这家社交网络，这也成为当时业界最闻名遐迩的事情之一。
尽管现在看来，对Facebook而言，10亿美元似乎是小菜一碟，但要知道，在2006年，Facebook还是一家成立仅两年的初创型企业，而且在当时，谁也不敢保证这家初创型公司能够一跃成为像当前这样的科技巨头。此外，追溯到2006年，当时的MySpace一度非常红火，而彼时的Facebook对很多人而言还非常陌生。
当然，雅虎并非是过去多年中科技行业唯一表达收购Facebook意向的巨头。除了雅虎之外，另一家科技巨头——微软也曾在2010年试图收购Facebook。当然，与2006年的模样相比，Facebook的确发生了惊人的变化，要比此前壮大了很多，这一点，从微软的收购要约就可以明证。尽管Facebook的首次公开募股（IPO）发生在两年之后，但到2010年之时，这家社交网络已经疯狂地增长，并牢固确立了自己作为唯一可以值得业界关注的社交网站的地位。
