Is Yahoo! Willing To Sleep With Google?
What strange bedfellows a proposed takeover makes.
Yahoo Inc would consider a business alliance with Google Inc as one way to rebuff a $44.6 billion takeover proposal by Microsoft, a source familiar with Yahoo’s strategy said on Sunday.
Yahoo management is considering revisiting talks it held with Google several months ago on an alliance as an alternative to Microsoft’s bid, that source said. At $31 a share, Yahoo believes the bid undervalues the company, two sources said.
…
The Wall Street Journal reported on its Web site on Sunday that Google’s chief executive Eric Schmidt called Yahoo’s chief executive Jerry Yang to offer his company’s help in any effort to thwart Microsoft’s bid.
Who else would be interested in purchasing Yahoo!, especially at that price or higher? Puhleaze. Why would you want to do that to your own franchise anyway? This is nothing but a ploy to try and get more money from Microsoft and it might just work, seeing that they will probably pay anything to get Yahoo! so they can finally, realistically, attempt to enter that market.
