Microsoft has been speaking with social networking giant Facebook about a possible acquisition, according to reports.
The Wall Street Journal cited a source close to Microsoft who claimed that members of its financial team had been in contact with Facebook to "gauge the company's willingness" to sell.
A Microsoft spokesperson told vnunet.com that the company would not be commenting on the report.
News of the talks comes just days after Microsoft called off its pursuit of Yahoo. The two companies had spent nearly three months in a very public saga that quickly turned from an acquisition offer to a hostile takeover threat.

Microsoft needs to calm down. They are starting to seem like a kid with birthday money that just wants something new in it's possession. I think they should let all the smoke from the Yahoo thing settle first, and then re-evaluate it's strategies.
