We really shouldn't fan the flames on these never-ending rumors, but analyst Henry Blodget is claiming, without a source, that Microsoft may be considering the purchase of Facebook for $6 billion: "No, of course we can't confirm it. But it makes sense, don't you think?...$6 billion's a nice fat number, but it's only 1/25th of Google's valuation, and the Facebook folks clearly think they're worth more than that. So maybe Steve will have to throw in another $5 or $10. Or $20."
