paidContent.org is reporting Facebook and Microsoft are scaling back their ad relationship. Microsoft powered much of Facebook’s display ad network. Facebook is no longer using Microsoft for their international display ads but might also drop them in the U.S. as well.
Back in 2007, Microsoft invested $240 million in Facebook, and made an ad deal. The ad deal originally did not include search but soon later added Live Search to Facebook.
