Rumors Flying Microsoft and Yahoo to Merge
Microsoft looking to increase market share after losing out to Google in their AOL talks is rumored to be evaluating a purchase of Yahoo. Internet rumors and several phone calls already today from old Yahoo co-workers wondering if they are destined to work for the Redmond gang.
Microsoft appears to be planning a partnership or acquistion with another Tier 1 internet company. Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer have been seeking an acquistion that could help them level the search marketing playing field with Google.
Other sources speculate that Microsoft/MSN is seeking a large ISP such as: Comcast.
It would be easier on a technical basis, for MSN and Yahoo who already share pay per click revenues and technology to merge and join together than waiting years to increase their share of the lucrative search marketing landscape.
Wenda Millard meet Bill Gates and clean out your desk as MSN will be driving this new shared enterprise.
