Rumor Alert: Is Google Considering Facebook?

This would probably be filed under the “probably never but definately possible,” but it seems that a rumor is floating around the blogosphere (as well as a media source) that Google may purchase Facebook.

(Thread Watch) GOOG is looking at Facebook at a 2.3bil price. This could be a total joke on their part, but the source is solid.

Google already owns several social networks, ranging from its never ending beta Orkut, Google Video, to its recent acquisition, You Tube.
