Microsoft buying Plam may not make a whole load of sense given they have an exciting new mobile platform coming on stream soon. It's a similar play to them buying Yahoo to compete better with Google in the search space. I don't see exactly how Facebook competes in search, all I see it as is an increasingly spammy social network that I could easily live without. Google on the other hand, is indespensible. The very sight of Bing makes me want to punch the monitor (when I'm not using my own PC).
