      Microsoft abandons Yahoo bid

      Posted by Jeff from MSNBC

      "After careful consideration, we believe the economics demanded by Yahoo! do not make sense for us, and it is in the best interests of Microsoft stockholders, employees and other stakeholders to withdraw our proposal," Ballmer said in the letter.

    • Flickr Flicks at Video

      Posted by Jeff from newsweek.com

      What's the big deal? Flickr, which is owned by Yahoo, is hardly about to slay the Goliath that is Google's YouTube. But while this may not sound like an online revolution, it does significantly enhance the Flickr experience for its 42 million monthly visitors.

    This Yahoo bid was stupid from the beginning. Microsoft was going to spend all its cash to chase Google in the advertising business? Huh? Ballmer clearly backed down when he didn’t want to ante up. I suspect the Microsoft board had second thoughts as well.

    Blodget: MicroHoo ‘is gonna be a disaster’

    At best a year to get the deal closed, two for integration. Multiple groups on each side working on similar projects… Sounds like a great idea and a nightmare to integrate.
