Microsoft had offered to buy struggling Internet firm Yahoo for 44.6 billion dollars (30.0 billion euros) in cash and stock.
Today, Google have taken over 70% of whole Internet Search engine and Advertising market. So, this news can change the picture of Internet in upcoming years.
Microsoft’s chief executive officer Steve Ballmer.said, “We have great respect for Yahoo, and together we can offer an increasingly exciting set of solutions for consumers, publishers and advertisers while becoming better positioned to compete in the online services market.”
From Blogger’s point of view
I think it’s a good news for bloggers because if it becomes a success then he will no more have to face monopoly of Google; I mean in the field of Google search engine and it’s advertising network, what say?
I believe that the combination of both the companies will deliver superior values of services to the bloggers as it has compete Google. They may come up with attractive Advertising publisher network so, the blogger is no more solely dependent on Google Adsense for his income.
Let us hope that it provides better choice and innovation for us and become a big success!
Great news, I think yahoo is going down hill and Microsoft just might have the capital resources to launch a new yahoo face in the industry!
