I am definitely caught up in this speculation…mainly because there are certain brands that SHOULD NOT let this get public.

I had hopes that Coke would think outside the box and do something like this.

Two other brands that should be hard looking at Facebook are American Express and Ebay (PayPal) . I am sure Google could make it work as well.

Something big is going to happen before an IPO. Someone needs to make a play and Yahoo, Microsoft, AOL are not the right guys to make it work long-term.

I will delve deeper into the Amex reasons tomorrow as AMEX returns to Wallstrip (by the way a GREAT episode tomorrow)
