So with RIM’s troubles, rumours abound of a buyout!

The latest word on the street is that Microsoft is kicking the tires to see if RIM is worth buying. Here is a purchase I would love to see! I think if this happened, Microsoft to give to RIM something they don’t have. Which is strategic vision.

Then Microsoft can integrate the best of BlackBerry technology into their own devices and present a mobile platform worthy to compete with iPhone and Android. Here’s hoping this rumour is true!

So another social networking social site has been sold. News Corp finally decided to sell MySpace. They sold it for much less than they bought it for.

This is no big surprise, since Facebook currently rules the roost. Not to say that MySpace didn’t have it’s place. It helped kick off the social networking era. MySpace will probably go the way of the dodo and if RIM isn’t careful they will follow in MySpace’s footsteps.

People love the Facebook experience and if other sites want to compete, they are going to have to step up their game!
