With all the talk about Microsoft and Yahoo this week, did we all forget about Facebook? This was in the news today: Facebook wants Marc Andreessen on its board. You might remember Andreessen as the founder of Mosaic, later became Netscape. He was the Internet darling of the mid-90s.

Facebook also recently hired some folks from Google, trying to get some grownups in their house. It’ll be interesting to watch as Facebook grows up.
