Microsoft is now in talks with Yahoo to buy them. This would have some big implecations... please share what you think this means. Some initial ideas. - Yahoo Search Marketing takes over MSN for PPC management. (MSN used to be part of overture partners) - Yahoo search results tie into Vista somehow
good points there, i guess nobody could anticipate how it would work until it acctually happens....and thats IF it ever hapens, which in my opinion, will do sooner or later.
I'm not worried because I don't see this merger working out...two organizations with different cultures...
If microsoft buys yaoo............. But microsoft is not getting it. I have read it on DP that yahoo is not selling.
That is what I think as well. Microsoft wants to buy Yahoo? But why? It is easily understandable that Google may want to buy Yahoo. If Microsoft doesn't buy Yahoo, I think Google would, because I think Googles main objective is to own every company that provides services Google provides.
The Yahoo Microsoft talks story was claimed by two papers inlcuding the Wall Street Journal that, Microsoft had stepped up its pursuit of a deal to buy Yahoo Inc., as the two companies re-enter talks to strike a deal and fend off google. Microsoft is reacting after missing out on deals that competitors have made and feeling the strong need to get something, anything, done. After Google bought Doubleclick for $3.1 billion, Microsoft is now trying to buy aQuantive. A Yahoo + Microsoft deal is still an option. As Google gets stronger and continues to capture more search market share...Yahoo + Microsoft becomes all the more likely.
If microsoft buys yaoo............. But microsoft is not getting it. I have read it on DP that yahoo eam have not plan to sale Yahoo!!! so if microsoft buys yahoo network i think it will be MYsoft.com M for micro and y for Yahoo and MYsoft is easy and looking good
wHAT if the new name will be: mahooyicrosoft.com like gahooyoogle.com hehehe That's my opinion... There will be Search Engine wars if that happen Google versus the combined force of Microsoft and Yahoo...I'm waiting for it.
How about MicroWho.com aka google is killing them both. One nice thing about a merger would be better ties of yahoo mail and msn...keep this in mind as a ton of people use mail and im from both fo these. Plus microsoft owns the desktop. Yahoo would love to be on every new XP/Vista PC....
Guys, this is not merging thing .. they are buying Yahoo. They will do whatever they want after they acquire it. I mean, MSN can keep the name Yahoo, no need to make it funny like MyHoo lol
I think it's okay as long as both of them will have their own shares, they will become entrepreneur and will build a strong search engine.
