Also Facebook dont have enough traffic to make decent money with search referals (check hitwise stat for Facebook –> Google traffic)

So if the rumored dollar amount (850 million) is true i think MS got the bad end of the deal

According to the report on paidcontent.org, this MS/Facebook deal was only for display banner ads (image banners) which is interesting.
