I just tried Yahoo search and it does not use Google ads.
I don’t understand how Yahoo is making more off Google ads, than Google is making?

Doesn’t it feel wrong? Yahoo and Google working together would be like the Red Sox and Yankees becoming trading partners. Just unnatural.

Yahoo need to find some new ground, focus on this and organise themselves. At the current rate, we still have the same basic business model from 10 years ago and it’s really showing.

I think it is time that Yahoo! focused on their successful products, Flickr, Answers, the web dev stuff, mail, etc. I don’t think they should loose search all together, but instead rework their way in the market which doesn’t depend on them being a successful search engine. They certainly aren’t now…

It is interesting the way our world is ruled. Once the so-called “dont be evil”, now becomes the evil itself, no matter how much Schmidt struggles to say the opposite. For the sake of our world, I hope this deal is not closed (with or without cap), otherwise we may see a new M$ taking our world, information and such to its feet!

Google and Yahoo should agree to walk away.

If there are indeed negotiations then they likely do not give ground in any direction beneficial to either company long term.

Perhaps the talks are really for both companies to understand what climate exists today within a government that may/will undergo transformation in the coming months — and delay.

All that delay allows for learning how little the government understands so that they can proactively restructure future deals.

Google-Yahoo merger is dangerous for Web-based Businesses?…

Volume cap, ehh… At least that’s better than being served with an antitrust suit but many still believe that the Google-Yahoo merger is dangerous for Web-based businesses. As a casual internet marketer, I have to say that I’m quite worried about …

Why doesn’t Yahoo, just work on creating a better product. Market Caps, Monopolies….what is happening to the free market?

Volume cap is better than no restrictions on Yahoo…coz both Yahoo and Google are looking highly interested in getting this deal through
Hence no options left for relatively healthier deal

All this just to avoid an MS deal – I would have thought selling out to Google would be just as bad, if not worse than a MS partnership.

Crazy how schoolground politics spill out into multibillion dollar business, actually quite scary.

A cap on the Google deal does sound good though. Still can’t believe Yahoo will be pleased to be running Google ads though. Having their main online competitor that has pretty much grinded them into the ground over the last 10 years hardly sounds like an event to celebrate.
