Lots of news from Yahoo in it’s efforts to fight off the takeover offer from Microsoft.
- Yahoo announced they will go through a two week trial period outsourcing their search ads to Google
- News Corp is in talks to join with Microsoft in it’s takeover offer for Yahoo
- AOL and Yahoo are looking at joining their internet operations
All of this is big news as Yahoo looks to fight to stay independent from Microsoft. Yahoo envisions it as a bad deal for Yahoo and personally I agree with that. I think Microsoft’s and Yahoo’s culture are too different to work well together.
