Microsoft's $240 million not enough to make Facebook Internet Explorer-compatible
Facebook's list of supported browsers does not include one that's proven relatively popular (if by hook or by crook) — Microsoft Internet Explorer. As blogger Dan Lewis points out, Microsoft may have invested $240 million in the social network startup, and you'd think that would win them some favors:
You know, like maybe a preferential app placement, integration of MS Live Search or MSN Messenger, or at least some stickers.
But no, Facebook asks you to "Please keep it real" and use Firefox, Opera, Safari or Flock — the latter having sub-minuscule market share. Somebody call COO Sheryl Sandberg, because obviously some developer at Facebook is having far too much fun and it needs to be stopped.
