    Very interesting what all of you have to say. But c'mon why didn't they just sell yahoo to microsoft. I mean all of the employees will be earning a lot more. And the owner of microsoft would be rich almost his whole life.

    when you run a company like yahoo, with enough money to create more revenue streams, why do you sit and do nothing and rely on your current business plan which isn't working out to well...

    what im saying is take google for example, they launched print ads, google checkout, radio ads, and rumors of alternative to ebay. what new ideas has yahoo had?

    Honestly, any company with the $$ to backup their project can easily become a huge competitor to paypal, mainly due to how that company is run and how they treat their sellers (freeze more accounts plz...)

    Ebay may be even easier to defeat, the only ideas they have come up with is raising prices... or i mean "lowering fees" (so they can raise the overall amount you pay per auction)

    Hotjobs could be much bigger that it is...

    Why have none of these companies (besides google slightly) ventured into the banking industry... you would think they would be on the forefront of the internet virtual bank boom, but they have even gave it a shot...

    When will one of them offer internet based tv? no not youtube but actual tv were i can watch real channels...

    There is so much more yahoo msn and google can do but they dont...

    When you get to the position that Yahoo Management has attained, its no longer about money, its about egos and legacies.

    You get hoisted by your own petard :eek:

    Microsoft offered $31 and then $33. It is possible they could be offering $22 in a few months after Yang is sick of all the lawsuits. Since Yahoo has 1.4 Billion shares that would be quite a nice discount.

    If yahoo ends up with google i will not use any of their services... or should I say google's services. I don't like google for a reason (plain, dull, boring, etc, and also a wolf in sheeps clothing).

    I like still having non google choices. I'd like Yahoo! to stay independent, but Yahoo! is running itself into the ground.

    One of the biggest services they ever had was their browser based java chat, and they ruined that by replacing it with some buggy lame messenger.

    i miss the days when yahoo worked :(

    Yahoo and Yang had a great opportunity to progress with Microsoft
    By kick starting the business and the technology
    All that is left now is very angry shareholders and Yang with his monster ego

    All the chickens are now coming home to roost :eek:
