Microsoft bids $44.6 Billion to buy Yahoo!

02-01-2008, 05:59 AM

http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=7848&tag=nl.e589

Microsoft said Friday that it is making an unsolicited offer of $31 a share, or $44.6 billion, to buy Yahoo in a move that would give the software giant more market share and become a significant threat to Google.

Damn. That's a pretty hefty bid!
But what would become of Yahoo if M$ corrupted it?

that is some severe trouble for the adult industry IMO. I can only imagine how they would start fucking up the results.

FUCK! I just said to a friend a few days ago that Yahoo! stock looked like a good buy. I need to listen to myself and buy. I could have made 10K by selling right now on just a 1000 stocks. Could have, should have........

Thought this was interesting,

"breaking news" on msnbc website:

"Justice Department 'interested' in reviewing Microsoft's offer for Yahoo"

Not surprising a buy that big would garner govt. attention I guess.

That is a huuuuge acquisition. To put that into perspective, if Microsoft were to sink that $44 billion into the adult industry, they would be able to afford to buy everything. I'm talking EVERY single paysite, every single sponsor program, free site, TGP, MGP, link list, tube site, adult dating site, and every adult entertainment company on the planet, with plenty of money to spare.

M$ will help save that flailing company.. Y! has been on a downward spiral from some time now. You can expect to see the Yahoo UI library go balls to the walls with M$ backing it.. if nothing else, Microsoft has always fostered strong development communities.

More like mid 500. Watch'em go down the tube or sell now.

No way they are valued at 500 when yahoo is at 30.

It's just fad people, sell google and BUY Yahoo stocks.

I will bump this thread three years from now.

BAD for adult webmasters, we all know MSN/live does not allow adult ads. If they buy yahoo the same policy could be put in place and say good bye to your yahoo ppc traffic.

After hearing a few things on the topic, I think Microsoft's ready to enter the search engine market full-force, and by buying Yahoo.com, they're pretty much narrowing down the competition to just one main competitor instead of having two.

MSN sucks balls. I'm hopeful if this goes through they'll keep the MSN brand but redirect searches to query Yahoo's data.

Now THERE'S something I'd rather like to see..!

My intuition/whatever-you-wanna-call-it tells me Microsoft *needs* to land that deal, or they have a lot of downsizing to do ahead.

Wouldn't that just about give them the monopoly? I mean, I know there's others, like live.com and such.... but seriously, combining google and yahoo would pretty much give them a huge % of the total searches done online... not to mention the groups, and news and other areas they both cover.
