At first glance this looks to be a huge mistake as it'd then be two bad companies bound to fail but I'm sure the real reason it to just get Microsoft to offer more money. |

Guess $31 a share wasn't enough? Considering they were at $19 a share before MS made an offer. Try GM, Disney or even AT&T, but AOL?
Not gonna happen. |

Re: Just trying to get MS to pay more...
Karl, you missed the news. Yahoo's board rejected the bid and sent a letter to M$ CFO this weekend saying the offer was too small. It was on Yahoo News, The AP, and the NY Times Yesterday. Yahoo claims, according to the AP, that Yahoo is worth more than $45 billion. By the way, Google has already called Yahoo, this weekend, to negotiate Yahoo using Google search rather than it's own--called Panama. Analysts say Yahoo is worth $35 a share not the $31 a share M$ is offering in a hostile takeover attempt. Where the hell the TimesOnline in the UK got this crappy story I'll never know. By the way, Time Warner is supposed to be spinning off AOL to get rid of it the AP reported last week since no one wants it and has been trying to sell it for about 6 months.
Read an online REAL newspaper instead of the fake news from some geek's blog. Or, you can always GOOGLE the news before you write it WRONG! Or, use an American business newspaper.

| Microsoft the only viable bidder
Time Warner is talking about divesting itself from AOL so why would they want to buy Yahoo? It's amazing that 2 powerhouses, Microsoft and Yahoo can't take on Google by themselves. Yahoo right now has no business vision, didn't have one for awhile. Right now with the credit crunch going on, Microsoft would probably be the only viable bidder. |

| Why not merge with grand daddy Google?
I agree with the previous post that AOL is dying before our eyes. The name AOL is synonymous with crap.
Make Microsoft mad and go with Google.

Re: Why not merge with grand daddy Google?
Yahoo have been old skool for a long time and for now the possible merger with AOL an aging ISP which does not favor with alot of people, sounds to me like a recipy for disaster.
If Yahoo wants to survive, maybe the should go own the M$ route or google even as earlier suggested. |
