Bartz's Hiring Has Put It Off, But Microsoft Must Ultimately Acquire Yahoo

Definitely an article written with a very limited view of the world, certainly of technology and not from a visionary point whatsoever.

Yahoo has no need to sell search to Microsoft. Microsoft however DOES need Yahoo Search to survive in search at all. Because they were cocky and abandoned Google search results because they could develop a better product, they shot themselves in the foot.

Bartz should LICENSE search to Microsoft at a very hefty upfront cost and a recurring revenue model of returns to Yahoo. You can use our search, but we maintain all ownership/development rights/responsibilitie...

Ballmer and his kiddies will play in that pool. Then Yahoo should license search out to every major corporation around the globe.

Yahoo Search provides superior results to Google's. Far better conversions. There's just some restructure that needs to take place internally as a result of that.

But to say that Yahoo should bow to Microsoft...like saying Apple should do it. Not gonna happen. If it does...they'll have a hard time getting people to keep using it.

Mark Cuban: Yahoo in Slump Because Yang is ‘Too Nice’

Yang is a nice guy. I lived in Taiwan for a while when I was younger. Nice place, but the businessmen there are ruthless and very wealthy. Not sure which town he hailed, but in Taipei...he'd have been swallowed up sooner rather than later.

Anyway, I'd love to take over Jerry's position and bring the company back to a higher stock value. See here: is.gd/82O7
