Was OnePlace released just to up the ante for Yahoo?

    I didn't know where to post this but I think this will be an entertaining thread to read. I wrote an article about the recent release of Yahoo's OnePlace, the mobile internet bookmarking application (that appears to be a nice thing to have on your cell phone) and the correlation of Microsoft's takeover bids for the search engine company Yahoo. The OnePlace application took three years to make and Yahoo really wants to make some money from advertising but was it really released to help spice up the deal from Microsoft?

    Yahoo has been stalling for time to increase its market value, especially with the board nomination delays which delayed the date of a possible proxy battle and has stalled to look for other alternatives like deals with AOL and News Corp. Is all of this just to send the market value of Yahoo up so that Microsoft will increase its bid or is Yahoo really trying to avoid a takeover by Microsoft? Not to mention the potential confrontation between Microsoft and Google as this seems to be the last big piece that Microsoft needs as it loads up to take on Google. What do you think? Here is the article

    Nothing? Am I stating the obvious?
