Is Microsoft really trying to buy Yahoo?
Apparently Microsoft and Yahoo have held negotiations for years about this possible takeover. The New York Post reported that the deal could be as much as $50 billion.
Although Microsoft and Yahoo are two of Google’s major competitors, both companies have much catching up to do. The two companies together conducted one-third of all U.S. searches in March, compared with 54% for Google, according to research firm Nielsen/NetRatings.
“Instead of getting bigger, these companies need to think about getting smarter,” said Scott Kessler, an Internet industry analyst with Standard & Poor’s.
