Microsoft 44.6 Billion $ Appetite: Yahoo! … will it be Microhoo!?

Posted in Culture, Web on February 1st, 2008

That’s a big one: It really looks like Steve Baller want’s to get into the search engine and online advertisement market. Today, Microsoft announced, that the company proposes the acquisition of Yahoo! at a premium of 63% to the current trading price.
It’s a teamup for competing Google - but we’ll have to see whether this transaction will be allowed by the anti-trust authorities and whether joining the forces of Microsoft and Yahoo! development teams will lead to innovation as they want it to be.
How should we call that company in the future? Microhoo!?

P.S. I hope they’ll now hire Ms. Dewey for the future Microhoo! search engine ;-)

[Update] You can vote for your favorite name of Microhoo at engadget ;-)
