BBC NEWS -- Feb 14 --
Bebo has refused to comment on a report that it is about to put itself up for sale. The site, founded in 2005, is currently the UK's second most popular social networking site after
Facebook, though it has had less success overseas. The price Microsoft paid for 1.6% of Facebook values Bebo at $15bn (?7.6bn). While
MySpace is winning the battle for users worldwide, it has fallen to third place in Britain, according to December figures from comScore. Bebo ranked second for that month with 11.2 million unique vistors, and Facebook top with 12.4 million.
