Microsoft pays $240 million for a stake that values Facebook at an astounding 150x of revenue - $15 billion dollars.

A week later, Google announces Open Social, a competitive platform with partners including LinkedIn, Hi5, Friendster, Salesforce.com, Oracle, iLike, Flixster, RockYou, and Slide. That deal that took longer than a week to structure.
