Was He Right?

May 5, 2008

From Michael Liedtke at the Associated Press

microsoft, Jerry Yang, yahooSAN FRANCISCO - Yahoo Inc. Chief Executive Jerry Yang has gotten what he wanted: a chance to prove his company is worth more than the $47.5 billion that Microsoft Corp. offered to buy the Internet pioneer.

It will be a daunting challenge, as Yang will be pointedly reminded Monday when investors are expected to show how little they think of Yahoo without a takeover bid on the table. Faced with resistance from Yang and the rest of Yahoo’s board, Microsoft withdrew its offer over the weekend.

Apparantly fighting off a hostile bid doesn’t carry the heroism it used to. Either shareholders thought the price was right or they are really nervous about Yahoo’s future. Both right?

And the winner is…

May 5, 2008

From Alison Swersky at the BBC:


Microsoft wants to buy Yahoo in what analysts regard as a response to the seemingly unstoppable rise of Google.

The emergence of Google has been staggering for observers and threatening for established players in every market it has entered.

Microsoft’s response could level the playing field.

“This consolidates the marketplace down to Google versus Microsoft,” says Colin Gillis, analyst at stockbroker Canaccord Adams.

This article is from February but it really typifies who is the REAL winner in the Microsoft-Yahoo non deal.

Who is the Loser?

May 4, 2008

From Tim Weber at the BBC:


So who is the loser then, now that Microsoft has withdrawn its takeover bid for rival Yahoo?

On the face of it, both companies are. After all, who can tackle the Google behemoth bestriding the world wide web? However, that assumes that the combination of Microsoft’s and Yahoo’s DNA would have created a top athlete, not a corporate Frankenstein

My opinion? Microsoft is the big loser because they didn’t get what they went after.

Microsoft walks away from Yahoo

May 4, 2008

From The BBC:

Software giant Microsoft has dropped its three-month-old bid to buy internet firm Yahoo because the two sides cannot agree on an acceptable sale price.

Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer formally withdrew the offer in a letter to Yahoo chief executive Jerry Yang.

Mr Ballmer said Microsoft had raised its original offer from $44.6bn to $47.5bn (£24.1bn) - $33 per share.

Whatever thoughts Yahoo had about selling imo were overridden by Microssoft’s obnoxious attitude. I think Jerry Yang and company purposely set a price that they knew Microsoft would not pay.

The difference between being content and writing good content

March 21, 2008

by Micah Wells

web content,web site content,web publishing content Content and content. Two words that look the same. They’re spelled the same. But content and content are not pronounced the same and there’s a world of difference in their meaning.

To illustrate this difference, one warm day last summer was happily devoted by myself and a friend to fishing. It was a “picture-perfect” day. We didn’t forget a thing, and the weather was magnificent.

From Paul Hyland at Paul’s Web Space 2.0:

seo resourcesOne principle to keep in mind, though, is that applying SEO to a web site should not distort the presentation of information to make it less understandable by humans in the service of search engines — rather, you should only make changes that enable readers to understand and find information more easily as well.
