Before any other sites were reporting that Microsoft had made a $44.6 billion dollar bid to acquire Yahoo I learned about it through Twitter from Justin Hawkes. I’m not going to claim to understand anything about stocks or big business but I do know Microsoft, Yahoo, and software development. Neither of them has what it takes to conquer Google and, honestly, I don’t think they can do it together either. You know what they say about “more cooks in the kitchen”. I don’t think either company is short on excellent developers; they just don’t have the direction and drive that Google has.
YHOO is up 60% in the pre-market with news of this offer. Good for them!
I’m going to make an effort to write more blog posts about events like this. I have only been writing for myself lately; which is really fun but doesn’t bring in any readers.
