Microsoft may buy Yahoo!
This news is a few days old but I’ve just found the time to sit and write about it today. In a recent announcement, Microsoft has ramped up its efforts to seal a deal to buy search engine Yahoo! in the wake of Google’s recent expansions. Google recently bought YouTube and DoubleClick, and its’ online advertising arena has exploded. Microsoft and Yahoo! re-entered years-old discussions for the buyout in order to gain market share on the Google giant.
Reuters reported that Yahoo shares jumped 14.6 percent to $32.20 on Friday, while Microsoft shares fell 1.4 percent to $30.53.
Time will only tell where this leads, but I for one think it’s going to be interesting to watch. Google has been exploding recently and leaving everyone else in the dust and it’s good to see some competition coming back into play here. Hey, that’s only fair, right?
