- ElBeh, on 10/08/2008, -1/+14Good, they can both suck together.
- inactive, on 10/08/2008, -0/+12Two failures are trying to join in a huge enough mess to get a bailout.
- dotnet, on 10/07/2008, -0/+11Could this in some way lower the chances that Microsoft or News Corp. acquires Yahoo ?
- techblogLAT, on 10/07/2008, -0/+10Imagine combining AIM and Y! Chat? That would be one massive user base.
- bmatherlyjr, on 10/07/2008, -0/+10Report: Yahoo-AOL Deal possible this month >> Yahoo-AOL's Death Inevitably
- Pixelpaws, on 10/08/2008, -0/+9This is about as sensible as a sinking ship dropping anchor.
- projomni, on 10/07/2008, -0/+7yep, yahoos have been talking about that for quite some time:)
- harvinator24, on 10/08/2008, -0/+6I would think durring the economic crisis and acquisition wouldn't be the best thing, especially with aol.
- soybeast, on 10/08/2008, -0/+6It's like passengers of the Titanic and Hindenburg working together to avert disaster. O_o
....wait, is this an Onion article? - MarkusX, on 10/07/2008, -0/+3So, I'm not a financial expert, but Yahoo was so weak, that it was almost bought by Microsoft. And now a couple months later Yahoo is strong enough to buy AOL. I'm puzzled.
Plus nobody seems to appreciate the good old Dollar anymore.
Every financial transaction has to be in the "Billions", huh?! - sdipaola, on 10/08/2008, -0/+3wow yahoo and aol - can you thing of more 'dead except for their brand name' companies. Why don't we throw in netscape and napster - who's stopped existing as companies long ago and now a slew of sleeze reuse their brand equity
- kkl3218, on 10/08/2008, -0/+3Don't do it!
- brandita, on 10/08/2008, -0/+3You've got....fail.
- WhoDoneIt, on 10/08/2008, -0/+3Yes, guy.. they used the term "Synergies" more than once... totally early 2000's... good time for transition I think.
- Nouman6, on 10/08/2008, -0/+3Companies really like buying other companies.
- Codename, on 10/08/2008, -0/+2Dugg for Yahoo and AOL in the same title.
- MrBrother, on 10/08/2008, -0/+2This just in: Yahoo bidding on AOL's viable content; No response yet from AOL, apparently their CallerID is jamming up the line.
- kishosingh, on 10/08/2008, -0/+2It is one more rumor like Digg Report: http://seoonlinemarketing.blogspot.com/2008/07/now ...
- rowlodge, on 10/08/2008, -0/+2so you have an even bigger stock crash now?
- homercles337, on 10/08/2008, -0/+2Yay, just what we need--more Corporate Conglomeration. Good times.
- 2Bnor2B, on 10/08/2008, -0/+1I think during the upcoming months we will see many mergers and acquisitions as companies try to survive. Many takeovers that were rejected in the past will be back on the table. I expect the EA - Take Two deal will finally go through. Big companies will survive and smaller ones will be acquired or die out. Welcome to the new world order.
- WhoDoneIt, on 10/08/2008, -0/+1Because the "W" went missing from that acronym?
AWOL - KibibyteBrain, on 10/08/2008, -0/+1Or, it might just be a way to get one of the big giants to have to pay more than the current sum of their prices. I don't think Yahoo-AOL have any more a future combined than the two do alone right now. But at least combined, they might be able to jack up the price MS, News Corp, Google, or some other company looking to buy a content service would need to pay. Plus, it would be a heck of a lot harder to mount a hostile takeover.
- Asianwaste, on 10/08/2008, -0/+1If they can find a way to make profit from instant messaging, they would grab that market by the pulse.
- evil-doer, on 10/08/2008, -0/+1the latest stats i could find had active users as:
yahoo: 250 mill
aim: 50 mill
and msn is 300 mill
the largest is called "QQ", its popular in china. - Jerky1312, on 10/08/2008, -0/+1May be the captain wants to sink close to home.
- cmark, on 10/08/2008, -0/+1Not a fan of AOL used it once never again.
- cyssero, on 04/18/2009, -0/+1Not allowing the Microsoft buyout has severely weakened YHOO's stocks. All tech stocks are down, but YHOO took an earlier hit and continue to tumble. Microsoft were going to pay $44 billion for Yahoo!, which was something like over $32 per share. Now YHOO are trading at $14.58. I'm sure a whole lot of investors are mighty pissed right about now...
So if you think YHOO were weak before.. they're twice as weak now!
I'm not a financial expert either, and I understand stock prices are not completely representative of a companies 'strength', but to me YHOO should not worry about buying anyone right now and should just focus on themselves. - mikeabundo, on 10/08/2008, -0/+1As weak as Yahoo is, AOL is even weaker.
- lazyfisherman, on 10/08/2008, -0/+0YAOL!!!
- BellaG, on 10/08/2008, -0/+0AOL recently acquired buy.at - at UK-based affiliate network. Be interesting to see what this new merger has in plans in terms of its' affiliate marketing now.
- SergeantSavage, on 10/08/2008, -3/+2why are the letters A-O-L next to each other on my screen
- inactive, on 10/08/2008, -4/+0so how much would yahoo pay for this bessness
