You don't even have to hate facebook to not like the merger. Anyone that has been part of a big corporate merger knows that the small company will very rarely keep its old culture for very long. Being bought changes things, and it rarely makes the company more productive. In all my years in the industry, I've not been a part of one where the consumer was helped: The only winners have always been the few people that got the millions from being acquired. Not every acquisition like this is a total failure, but so many of them are, it's very hard to see any acquisition with optimism, unless you want both sides to fail. Can IBM please buy Oracle?
