I guess Microsoft still needs that reminder on allowing one’s mouth to write a check that one’s ass can’t cash… Wasn’t that a strict promise that they wouldn’t pay another red cent for Yahoo just a minute ago?

Honestly, I’m hoping they close just so we have something fresh to read about.

This is a lose-lose proposition. Yahoo continues to hold out, but everyone thinks the acquisition is inevitable, so the talented folks are leaving Yahoo in droves (so says a colleague.) MS may have to go hostile, and the i-hate-microsoft-because-i-have-to-hate-someone crowd just makes the rest of the yahoos jump ship.

For everyone who wants to see Yahoo go it alone: won’t they being doing so without the talented folks?

Everyone is losing in this affair.

Can’t they just forget about the deal. I love the internet as it is right now. And I don’t want yahoo to start neglecting standards like our dear ….

@Jared – Good thought but Barry and IAC are a little tied up right now or they would be in the hunt I am sure.

My thinking is that if Yahoo is going down, they will take MS down with it. Jerry will up the price so that MS will lose even after the merger. There is so much distrust of MS from the valley that this will be the downfall of MS and they will cheer when it crashes.

lol – MS wants Yahoo. they made that clear from the get-go

3 weeks from now, MS will probably rise their 33/share price to 35, if Yahoo demands it

Yahoo is doing really well recently and have made good contribution to the world. People who want the deal must be thinking more about their stock than the benefit of public.

I still think Yahoo should remain independent and revitalize their technology. It is really silly to think that the sum of the parts will present an increased front. Yahoo, with the “right direction” could be a real competitor to Google.

This rumor just sets up the scenario for Microsoft to walk away from the deal after yahoo balks. As if the company can’t find out what to do with the 20 billion in cash that the transaction would incur. It’s ridiculous. You can launch an empire with that money, acquire willing victims, rather than boat anchors that are so unwilling.

Forget the stock part of the transaction – the cash man, the cash…what are these guys thinking…? Make your existing and underperforming on-line channels work, throw a minicule amount of that cake at it.

Gawd. What an uninspiring story…Where is the creativity? Is this what the best minds in Redmond can come up with? It’s as if they fell ass backwards into the money and don’t know what to do.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, yahoo should hold out and continue to quietly work on their ubiquity platform.

Why not an IAC (Ask.com) and AOL/TimeWarner proposition? There was just an article about AOL more efficiently monetizing pages it owns and Yahoo has lots of extra inventory.

IAC is the 4th largest buyer of online advertising in the U.S. (Nielsen Online AdRelevance, Jan 08)

Clearly there would be operational efficiencies from an IAC/AOL/Yahoo. It would be the online media behemoth to Google’s search behemoth.

Finally, a 3 year strategic partnership with Microsoft on search. Rolled up that is a ~30% market share for MS to work with.
