  • Icahn to Whip Yahoo's Struggling Horse into Shape [View article]
    Once Microsoft acquires Yahoo, I will stop using my yahoo services and quickly shift to Google services. Never been a fan of Microsoft services and its image. I am very sure the same will apply to several other yahoo users.

    Since when will investors realize that when Microsoft made the initial offer on yahoo, the internet ad market was down in the stock market and most technology companies were down. Google delivered in their earnings. Yahoo also delivered. if Microsoft hadn't made the stupid offer for yahoo, yahoo stock price would have jumped back up and investors wouldn't have boxed yahoo's stock within this stupid $31 ceiling.

    Are investors saying that yahoo's stock price cannot be back to $33 in a year?

    Yahoo has been beaten in search. That is fine. But yahoo has several other businesses which google lacks.

    So icahn, please take ur greedy ass back to blockbuster.

  • How Microsoft Could Kill Google on the Web [View article]
    I've seen all the posts above but I still don't believe it will work. Advertiser's go where the audience is. The Audience are in search, vertical websites, web publisher pages and very soon cloud apps or free software.
    - Search - Google is a verb and so advertisers would want to be where the audience is. Microsoft cannot be a search verb by simply offering free ads to advertisers. Advertisers understand that they need to pay for eyeballs and not for ghost towns.
    - vertical websites and publishers - Google has the greatest reach of publishers.
    - free stuff - Google is offering free office software and quickly capturing user base. The model of offering free stuff to consumers at the expense of advertisers have always worked.

    Also, that will be self-destructive 'cause google is giving away microsoft apps for ads and that is the direction cloud computing is heading

    won't work. advertisers go to where the traffic is. Google is a verb and Microsoft is past tense. The only reason why Microsoft tried to buy yahoo was because they realized that advertisers go where the largest ad network reach is and that is google. #1 in search and #1 in publisher network. Yahoo was a step to get them the reach
