Microsoft wants Yahoo!

February 1, 2008

I’ve read today from CNN News that Microsoft bids $44.6B for Yahoo! The following are the bits of the story:

Technology giant Microsoft said Friday it had offered to buy Internet search engine operator Yahoo with a cash and stock bid worth $44.6 billion. Yahoo shares have lost around 30 percent of their value in the past year. The $31-a -share offer represents a 62 percent premium for shareholders above the closing price of Yahoo stock on Thursday, Microsoft said in a statement.

I think this might happen, Yahoo! might give up to this offer of Microsoft. I also read that Yahoo! might lay-off a lot of workers which is an indication of not-so-good-business. Well if Yahoo! and Microsoft will merged, it will be both good news and bad news. Good news for us, web designers, SEO, and ordinary users, because of the different possibilities and new features the Microsoft and Yahoo! might offer. Bad news or i should i say a great challenge for Google. It will be two giants againts one (vs. Google) over the net and of course the winner will be us users. I hope so!
