As always, Frank doesn’t pull any punches. :) Guess it’s time for another round of "MicroYahooSoft" speculation. As Frank notes, it does make the most sense of any potential buyer.
Thanks mate... but realistically no one is buying them right now
We could take up a collection and buy it ourselves, if the stock keeps going down. :)
"realistically no one is buying them right now"Yeah, of the players mentioned I think most couldn’t handle it, Microsoft doesn’t really need it and Murdoch, probably the only one who can get away with it, is still digesting MySpace. LBO firms would take half a look and see that there isn’t an easy way to spin anything off.
Yahoo stocks down because people still compare them with Google. It is a big mistake beause Yahoo is only 10% search engine and 90% media - portal company which provides everything.
Wish they had lottery winnings that would be big enough for me to buy Yahoo. I’d be the mommy blogger that took down Google 365 days from now. ;)
But if you had the money would you buy Yahoo! or do something else with it?
Begs the question - how much value is there in being able to call yourself the #2 search engine :)
I think there’s a fair amount, so long as the #2 search engine has more than 20% market share.
Sad to see an old giant approach retirement, Jerry must simply console himself in all the money he has lying around, sipping smoothies while remeniscing on days past, when they were the leader in search.
Let’s just see what will happen. Everybody talks about it.
They should sell out to Microsoft, it will help the industry grow to be better. And allow for more players to rise in the search engine game. The only reason Yahoo! has lastest this long is as a result of the Overture (PPC auction system) purchase a few years back.
