Commenting on rumors that Microsoft (MSFT) may soon acquire the 98.4% of the social-networking phenom that it doesn’t yet own , Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said he’d prefer to keep things as they are now. Said Zuckerberg , “You can tell, from our history and what we’ve done, that we really wanted to keep the company independent, by focusing on building and focusing on the long-term.”
And focusing too on that rumored IPO and the fantastical $15 billion valuation it’s supposed to bring with it.
