[...] What about that Google deal? Well, it turns out there’s no penalty at all if Yahoo simply never implements it. Google can terminate the agreement, but there’s no downside to Yahoo. If Yahoo sells itself to someone they have to pay a steep $250 million fee to Google. But an interesting detail: Microsoft can buy up to 35% of Yahoo without triggering that $250 million penalty fee to Google. See the full analysis in our previous post. [...]

I agree the deal open a new way for future partnership or strategic alliance, also this could be considered as a major development from which both the advertiser and publisher would be benefited but I am not sure how much it would help the search users unless any such revolutionary product is launched with joint effort.

Great move Yahoo!

For all the naysayers, please consider the following:

1. Yahoo! understands it can’t develop a better search engine than Google. It is better to accept your short-comings and start improving on your strong-points.

YouTube, MySpace, and Facebook are not search based sites. Are they? Still they are among the Top 10 sites based on page-views. Even Google knows that. Why else would they acquire YouTube and Orkut?

2. Yahoo! should always be an independent company. A Microsoft merger would have killed the Yahoo! spirit. Personally I don’t like any of Microsoft’s web platform. And being a staunch Yahoo user, it would be a nightmare to see all those wonderful web tools acquire Microsoft’s WebUI look&feel and not-so-user-friendly interfaces… Yuck This would have lead users away from Yahoo.

3. Agreed that Google is the ultimate winner here. Still it gives Yahoo! enough breathing space to work on the next revolutionary product(s).

4. This deal might pave more way for more future partnerships. Gmail type functionality in Yahoo! mail (or better yet a common interface for users who use both services). Yahoo! mail could use context sensitive-ads like gmail too. Yahoo! mail could directly integrate Google Docs for attachments.

As much as I love TC, it is getting ridiculous how you cover Yahoo-Google deal in such a negative tone.
