Should Microsoft sell Bing to Facebook, what's happen?

April 20 (Bloomberg) -- Microsoft Inc. should sell its Bing search business to Facebook Inc., a deal worth about $5 billion that would help both companies compete with Google Inc., said Rick Sherlund, an analyst at Nomura Equity Research.


“If their real motivation for being in the search business is to prevent Google from having complete market dominance, Microsoft would be better off working with Facebook,” Sherlund said today in an interview on Bloomberg Radio’s “Bloomberg Surveillance” with Tom Keene and Ken Prewitt.
