Friday's dramatic bounce in Yahoo's stock on reports of a deal with Microsoft - later discredited - reflects the pressure facing the third- and second-largest internet companies as they struggle to gain market share from Google. Behind Friday's flurry is the fact that Yahoo is the only meaningful acquisition Microsoft can make to significantly strengthen its internet business, said Ben Schachter, an analyst with UBS. <%=GetPoll(105)%> | ||

I can't think of a single reason why such a merger would be good - ok one, the Live team would get its hands on what many reason is a better looking WPF based IM client.
Google is not enough of a reason for Microsoft to pursue this and neither Microsoft or Google is enough of a reason for Yahoo to accept any advances. Yahoo has some depth as a company - certainly more than Google does in the areas of media and individually relevant services. For Microsoft's part, one can hear their leaders.... Windows, Windows, Windows.... Developers, Developers, Developers.... and now, Advertisers, Advertisers, Advertisers.... and as the coming idiocracy approaches, I can hear myself begging, why?!? All the advertising supported space works in one's head until one thinks <for just a second> on just how much larger and more moneyed advertising dollars are in good ole TV....and no other company on this earth is better positioned, or prepared to make PC's of any size, shape or form, as much like a TV as Microsoft is. Microsoft, make the computer as much of a TV as it is a computer - and make the TV as much of a computer as it is a TV. Ready, Go! I have said it here many times, when you are in a race, drive your own car - do not drive the way the guy in front of you is and do not drive simply to block the guys behind you. Find "your" line and drive like your life depends on it - or at least drive like you love it. I can tell you that you can survive a conflict by respecting your enemies, but you'll never taste victory until you hold them in contempt long enough to ignore them and fight your own fight. Chess is like that, wars are like that and business is like that. It does none of us any good and it does Microsoft a lot of harm, to appear to be chasing Google. I don't think they really are, but enough of their actions provide enough fuel for industry pundits to say they are - and that is way too much in and of itself. Sorry Ozzie, ya gotta go. Here's a perspective. I don't know "The Google" and I live and work each day without ever going to Google, or using a Google site, or service. I did study Google and even used some of their services during that process - I still have some of their supplied code, temporarily on our site - just to see what, if any, benefit that provides <Zip, Nada, Zero>. I have no need of "The Google" and they aren't a factor in my life. Now Microsoft software? Oh man... yeah, there's a need there. The Science Channel - well, it's just about a need... there's something about deep space objects that thrills me - especially when you realize that to someone else out there, we're the deep space object! Here's a prediction: In ten years Google will no longer be around. Google can't survive because the TV and the computer will become one and the same - in that space, Google is a redundant and unnecessary cost. |
