Cool...! Now Microsoft will acquire Yahoo, and that will be the end of Google.... Nice. I got tired of hearing about Google this and Google that...

Actually, I am a fan of Google.

I like hearing about Google.

I use Google to search, mail, and many apps. And not too mention natural traffic from Google.

Google makes my life and business convenient, accessible and efficient. All this for free free free.

Yahoo however, just takes care of my hosting.

usakos, if you truly believe that Google is going to be knocked off its pedestal any time soon, you don't know the inner workings of corporate business.

Google is a pop-culture phenomenon, rarely seen in the annals of history.

Google isn't just some corporate monolith. It's an online event that has captured the imagination of the entire world - an event that's going to remain #1 for a very long time!

exactly - a joke. Microsoft even backed away from the talks to acquire Yahoo... two weeks ago.

About time. Semel was garbage and Yahoo was getting thrashed left right and centre. It'll be interesting to see what Jerry Yang has in store for the ailing company...maybe entertain M&A offers? It's gonna be tough to right the ship.

Yahoo is doing what it needs to do to turn things around and build momentum.

That being said, the Yahoo stock is definitely set for a few more tumbles before it begins to recover.
