Yahoo! in Play
Posted on February 13th, 2008 by mlwhall
All the talk about Microsoft or News Corp. acquiring Yahoo has to do with maybe creating a Twitter or Pownce clone (among other things). I am not sure why they would not just buy Twitter or Pownce. But with Yahoo you are getting a lot of stuff that Microsoft cannot seem to do well (Sell ads, get serious traction in search and IM, etc.).
Interesting development in yahoo ordeal.
Also News Corp is more information-based and think will play to Yahoo’s strengths a little bit better. Even if it is MSFT I think strategic partnerships make more sense.
