After failing to strike a deal with Yahoo! and with Facebook favouring an IPO, Microsoft is on the hunt to both buy its way into the social networking movement and help Steve Ballmer save face.
Coincidentally, it is rumoured that LinkedIn is looking to raise a $1Bn round of funding to help it through the "nuclear winter" of a recession, funding slow-down and worse.
This prediction is that an announcement if made that the two get together to meet their respective objectives before June 30, 2008. To count, Microsoft must invest more than the $240m they currently have invested in Facebook.
