Microsoft Offers To Buy Yahoo

I just read on Engadget that MS has offered to buy Yahoo! for $31 a share which works out around $44.6 Billion. Wonder what that willmean for those of us who use Yahoo! on a regular basis. I mean Yahoo! messenger and MSN (Windows Live) messenger can already talk to each other. You can read the Microsoft press release here and the Engadget article here.

Yahoo has already started to reduce it's worker by over a 1,000 as a means of saving money. MS couldn't do any more damage than Yahoo itself has done the past few years. Yahoo has been buying up companies and wrecking them..ie MusicMatch. Yahoo bought it and replaced it with YahMusic and it doesn't work. Same with their photo program in 360. It worked good then they bought out Flickr and that was trashed. Right now Chat is full of bots and spammers. In short Yahoo has gone down hill fast so they'd better do something quick.

Just a thought. If either wanted to charge users they'd get a surprise. No one with a thinking brain would buy. By the way, I got your link off Dermots website.
Cheers!

Can't believe they've pulled out. Good news for Google of course, but surprised Bill Gates hasn't offered to buy them out before now too !!!
