Submitted by Vicky Lalwani on Friday, 7 November 2008No Comment

We heard that Microsoft invested $240 million dollars into Facebook. But for the US Elelctions, Facebook wanted to to allow its users to find a polling place as well as mark if they had voted and who they supported.

Despite Microsoft having Virtual Earth for it’s Maps – who does Facebook use instead – Google!

Feeling the love, Microsoft?
