It doesn’t matter. Google has positioned itself between every person and every piece of information that they see on the internet. (except your home page, –which is probably also Google)

With that kind of power, there is no one who can compete. Not even MS.

Now everyone just scrambles to install “toolbars” into your browser so that you might get confused and accidentally use *their* search engine. But Google has one of those too!

Heh Ryan – exactly. Who would of thought that the once high flying Yahoo would come to this type of death.

Wall St. actually punished Yahoo for not selling (read “liquidating”) the whole damned company for a truckload of instant cash.

Truth is that the anti-trust regulators would have put a stop to that, and so this is a buy out that’s not really a buy out.

Yahoo has been seriously mismanaged for years and has had no business plan. I used to use their messenger and email but I’ve moved on to Windows Live Messenger and Gmail.

This move really just turn’s Yahoo into Microsoft’s sockpuppet.

If I had been Yahoo’s last CEO, I would have worked something out with Google just to keep the company away from Microsoft. No company that’s “partnered” with Microsoft has ever gotten any more valuable from doing so, in fact most of them were later stabbed in the back at Microsoft’s earliest possible convenience.
