Looks like 22-year-old Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is shopping his company again (for less than the $2 billion he wanted before). The Wall Street Journal says:

One popular use of social-networking site Facebook.com is to flirt with other members. As it happens, Facebook Inc., the start-up company behind the Web site, has been doing some serious flirting of its own.

People familiar with the matter say the company has held separate acquisition talks with Yahoo Inc., Microsoft Corp. and Viacom Inc. over the past year. Now, say some of these people, the start-up is in serious discussions — again — to sell itself to Yahoo for an amount that could approach $1 billion.

Ugh, a flirting metaphor. Am I the only one who feels like an Arrested Development character seeing young George Michael's plain, quasi-Mennonite girlfriend and blurting, "...her?"
