Wow! Microsoft Makes $44.6 Billion Bid for Yahoo
This would be huge! Yahoo has been struggling for a couple years now and Microsoft’s web offerings have been declining for several months. I don’t really see this strengthening Microsoft, though. In my view, this is Microsoft buying traffic. They don’t need Yahoo’s portal, email, or messenger. Microsoft already has all that. So mostly, Microsoft would just be purchasing web property to put their advertisements on as they try to catch up with Google Adsense.
