Dear Sirs,
My name is Sanches and I just signed up. I didn’t find relevant
thread to post this, and I am sorry, if I posted inappropriately,
moderators, please move this post accordingly.
About this time last year, I came across information about
investment programs, that are rarely published on
official investment resources. The yields, which participants could
receive by joining in such private clubs, appeared
extremely high at
first, but as I searched more feedbacks about them, I joined some too. As
of today, I consider
myself as no less, but the successful
entrepreneur. To
share my findings, I
set up the blog, which
provides detailed information
about investment
programs. To see my
blog, here is the link.
I would appreciate
everyone’s feedbacks.

If Yahoo is the second only to Google and has 150 billion pageviews/month, how many pageviews does Google have? I tried to find that out with no success.

Anybody knows?

Thanks,

Yahoos dseperate bid to stay independent by trying to strike a deal with Murdoch is pathetic, what’s even more pathetic is that if Yahoo gives Google it’s search buisness, Google will efectively gut Yahoo from the inside out.

There will be no need for all the engineers that Yahoo has now, they will all be repalced by Googles seach buisness and infrastructure.

Yet in the end I hope it falls apart, Microsofts revenew is going up, I hope the Yahoo deal goes away.

The big winner in a MSFT hostile take over is wall street fat cats, day traders, and the other financial monkeys whose short term focus on quarterly earnings are killing the best companies ability to compete long term.

Is anyone talking about the ramifications of NewsCorp’s Scout being associated with Yahoo’s Rivals? These are the top college recruiting websites and are huge rivals.

Myspace + Yahoo makes me sad. Yahoo, in my opinion, has been on an uptrend when it comes to innovation and embracing the real spirit of Web 2.0. Myspace is outdated, on a downtrend, and needs some serious, serious revamping if they want to compete with Facebook (which, again, has embraced Web 2.0).

I think a deal with News, Corp. is the worst case scenario for Yahoo. While Microsoft might not be the best bed-mate, at least (as was previously pointed out) they are a tech company, and have indicated how much they value Yahoo’s engineers. Murdoch & Co. are strictly about the money.

Either way it goes, Mr. Yang and the board need to get out of the spotlight, and get down to business – oh, and they need to decide exactly what that business is going to be.

An independent Yahoo is better for Yahoo, better for Yahoo employees, better for Yahoo users, better for the internet, better for competition, and probably even better for Microsoft. The big winner in a MSFT hostile take over is wall street fat cats, day traders, and the other financial monkeys whose short term focus on quarterly earnings are killing the best companies ability to compete long term. I guarantee that 5 years from now an independent Yahoo (whether News Corp gets a 20% stake or not) will have grown more than MSFT in the same period.

@bs

Agreed, but I think that’s actually an added incentive for NewsCorp to make the deal…acquire Yahoo!’s base (including the Blue Lithium network), overlay all of their targeting/profiling technology, and the Right Media Exchange, and plug MySpace into that Y! ecosystem — enriching it with del.icio.us, Flickr, Jumpcut, UpComing, etc.

Would definitely provide some lifeblood to MySpace, FIMs flagship asset…

News Corp. may or may not decide that they want to win, but Microsoft – at this point for a variety of reasons – cannot really afford to lose.

And I don’t see them losing.

The funny thing about the idiom “stuck between a rock and a hard place” is, if you don’t use either one to push the other away, you’ll be crushed in the end. I say Yahoo should buy Microsoft )

Is there a possible suitor that doesn’t suck for yahoo? Both companies have a track record of running things into the ground. At least Microsoft is a technology company that cares about the tech people and property at yahoo. News corp just wants more audience for content.

Does no one have the cajones to point out the obvious fact: NEWS CORP IS EVEN LESS COOL THAN MICROSOFT!! Rupert Murdoch has gotten his brands, especially Fox “news”, all mired in politics to the point that anything he touches loses value. Even a devout independent like me can clearly see this.

It could be argued that the Dow Jones and My Space are less subject to this “reverse Midas effect” because their constituencies are either already stodgy like Murdoch himself (WSJ readers) or too young / too frivolous to be politically engaged (MySpace party people). But Yahoo targets everyone, and is therefore VERY vulnerable to any association with News Corp. Yahoo does not yet have truly unique services and therefore relies on paper-thin preferences (or even whims) for being chosen by consumers for search, etc. In other words, a Yahoo- News tie-up would lose value from day one. I mean, its not like this is a political year or anything

If Jerry Yang really wants to turn his lemons into lemonade, he is going to have to take a more orthogonal approach. For example, he could get his tush on a plane to Beijing and pursue a poison pill deal with Hua-wei Technologies (making Yah-wei)! I’ve got a few more serious suggestions that I won’t post so as not to spoil Yang’s surprise in case he happens to be hiding these aces up his sleeve
