So you honestly believe Facebook is going to take the money and sit on it? I predict that they are going to take that cash and make a run against Google. People are already on Facebook all day it seems. How long until you can type anything into that search box and be whisked away to where you want to go? Then imagine if they served relevant ads around those search results. Of course, they could never achieve what AdSemse does, they had to talk people into letting them on their sites. Oh, that's right, everybody already has like buttons and many sites have moved to Facebook commenting.
