I'm not crediting Scoble for breaking the news, I was simply commenting on Robert's take on it. He said "we will never get an open Web back if these two deals happen." I had to post something about a ridiculous statement like that. Sorry about that! @John, I saw your news article and appreciate you posting it.

He said “we will never get an open Web back if these two deals happen.” I had to post something about a ridiculous statement like that. Sorry about that!

For 4 a.m., I think Robert made some very compelling points that, at a minimum, will foster some heated debate today. I agree with you on merit though. A MSFT acquisition at that valuation I find ludicrous. But I also don't find it has scary regarding the "world domination effect" for the very reason you point out. Why would we go back to the AOL walled-garden is precisely something I was thinking. We've spent that last 10 years opening. I don't think the value proposition of Facebook is compelling enough for users to stay behind the wall. Nick: Great post.
