Googles Competition Joining Forces?

Posted on February 1, 2008 in MSN Search, Yahoo Search Marketing  

“Microsoft Corp has made an unsolicited offer to buy Yahoo Inc for $44.6 billion in cash and stock, seeking to join forces against Google Inc in what would be the biggest Internet deal since the Time Warner-AOL merger.”

So Microsoft is trying to buy more market share. Smart move on their part in my opinion.  To really compete with the big G this buyout will have to occur or Y! will have to make a counter offer to buyout MSN search side (not that likely IMO).

“Microsoft said it had offered to buy Yahoo for $31 per share, which it said represented a 62 percent premium above the company’s closing stock price on Nasdaq on Thursday.” 

 Good news for those stock holders that took the dip earlier this week….  What will come of this only time will tell but honest i hope it happens and they take the best part of Y and MSN and make them into a powerhouse search!

What do you think?

    I think this is a great move by Microsoft. Yahoo has better services but MS has more money and a better R&D department. Think of all the great services MS would instantly get (flickr, Ymail, Ymaps, etc). MS has been falling behind lately.

    And for for affiliate point of view I defintely hope things pan out; because, my god do I HATE AdCenter with a passion. Its terrible. YSM would basically double which I think is great.
