Microsoft plus Yahoo! equals…

The writing has been on the screen representing completely some times, and last night Microsoft at last puts in a offer for Yahoo! after Y!s poor Q4 execution. If that sounds like fairness investigation, it is because I believe thats where this is coming from. Soothing Yahoo!s annoyed shareholders. Both of them are hugh, but the list of overlapping services are extremely long and I cant think of how they would even up to untangle that mess, let unaccompanied build a synergy outside of it. And the combination wont mean much in terms of rivalry with Google.

If the distribute does approach because of, and they can blend Yahoo!s eyesight and spider’s web technology onto the desktop, it could be profitable. Otherwise, I cant perceive how the likes of Yahoo!s late spider’s web 2.0 obtaining (Flickr, Upcoming, del.icio.us, blo.gs) can advantage beneath Microsofts parasol. (What was the last wealthy spider’s web takeover near Microsoft? Anybody call to mind Teleo? Slot Networks?
