The dealings of the Microsoft attempt(s) to purchase Yahoo! are considered old news. Yahoo! wanted more money, Microsoft said no, and Microsoft eventually pulled its offer (much to the dismay of Yahoo! shareholders everywhere). Seemed like a sailed ship……apparently not.
Microsoft and Yahoo! are now again in purchase discussions, but this time Microsoft is looking to just purchase Yahoo!’s Search business. These new dealings are creating a great deal of speculation that Microsoft will purchase Yahoo! Search and then….buy Facebook!
O’ what a twisted WEB they weave. What would these acquisitions mean for the web world? Would this actually give Google something to worry about? I would love to hear some thoughts (and some clever new merger names).
