Microhoo-Yahosoft: The merger of Yahoo and Microsoft
It’s hot news when Microsoft made an unsolicited bid for $44.6 billion to buy Yahoo. What’s the main purposed of that? It means that Microsoft have a goals to bring Google down. And the way to thinks for this goal is that the huge traffic numbers of Yahoo might help.
To the web surfers, like us, how does all this affect? More than a stock portfolio issue, I think. As we know, on dozens of Yahoo! web services, hundreds of millions people relied, under Microsoft ownership any one of which could change significantly. Don’t expect your email address to disappear, the Yahoo! name is valuable, but the feel of many Yahoo!-run websites could change significantly, including del.icio.us and Flickr, if the merger goes through. It could be also disastrous, if an unsuccessful merger occured, then driving more users to Google. What do you think?
