Yahoo, Meet Pooch
Boy, did Yahoo really screw the pooch this time!
Microsoft got tired of Yahoo’s game. Now Google might now want to do the ad distribution deal because they don’t feel like dealing with the regulatory commission hassle. And even if they did, what leverage does Yahoo hold anymore? NONE. I hope Yahoo enjoyed being the popular girl everyone was trying to get to go to the big dance. Now she gets to sit home on prom night eating her Haagen Dasz all alone. Well, that’s not entirely true. She’ll still be getting lots of attention… by way of class action lawsuit from investors for this total debacle.
So what does Microsoft do now? They were trying to jump start into being real competition for Google. Their MSN er… I mean Live.com really hasn’t done it. How do they go and get in front of massive amounts of eyeballs? Some are suggesting that AOL might be the next stop.
What about domain portfolios? Say… Marchex? The stock is weak because the public doesn’t understand them. Not to mention the parting gift you could make on Yahoo’s bottom line by taking away one of their bigger distribution partners.

Whats AOL?
I cant remember the last time I even saw that site. I think Yahoo! and MSN will have to work something out, its the only way they both stand a chance against “The GOOGLE”
