Headline of the Day
Ars Technica gets a gold star for this headline:
Microsoft adds Yahoo! to shopping cart
As for the bidding news, I’m on the fence. Folding Yahoo! into Microsoft will most likely end in tears. In the odd chance that Microsoft manages it properly it could turn out favorably. I’d like to see Microsoft take this chance to look at their web offerings with an objective eye. Since Microsoft and Yahoo! have overlapping services, take the stronger in each case and merge the weaker into it. Then rebrand everything web-based with Yahoo! (Or probably Microsoft Yahoo! Or maybe MSNY!) This is not what I expect to happen.
