Microsoft said yesterday that it would provide advertising for Facebook, a Web site aimed primarily at college students, over the next three years.

The two did not disclose the terms of the deal, in which Microsoft will be the exclusive seller and provider of banner advertising and sponsored links for Facebook. The site, a social network that allows users to set up pages about themselves, post pictures and create discussions, attracts a youthful demographic that is highly prized by advertisers.

Google has MySpace (and orkut). Isn't that enough?

Would you advertise on 100 mio users with no money or 9mio users with money?

Maybe they are more educated, but Facebook's users are mostly college students. Why do you think they have so much money?
