The BIG Microsoft-Yahoo Deal is DONE. Ballmer and Bartz Discuss
July 30, 2009 by Pablo Palatnik
This has been a saga the online industry has been watching for over a year now, I’d also say Google has been on the sidelines just waiting to see what happens and its finally done. There is so much info on this topic I won’t even go into detail as you find literally thousands of news sources regarding this but hear what both sides of the deal what to say!
This has overshadowed what happened earlier this week as well as Amazon Bought Zappos for a reported $850 million dollars. Though I think that deal in itself will have a big impact on things such as stock prices of Amazon, this Microsoft/Yahoo search deal will change the landscape of search in terms of Googles market share of search and have advertiser implications, for the best we hope, right?

This is a major move forward in the advancement of the internet…
Finally Microsoft has reached a deal Yahoo for an internet search partnership. Will the newly announced deal between giants Microsoft and Yahoo be a good thing to them and bad to Google? Got to wait and see. I was just curious to know all the past negotiations between Microsoft and Yahoo so collected all the articles and links (more than 200) related to the current merger and the previous events or negotiations between Microsoft and Yahoo. If you are interested check the link below.

Well, Yahoo didn’t want to be acquired. This partnership will keep Yahoo independent for now. Who knows, they can develop new technologies and become a better, more profitable company and not rely on the web services.
