Okay, what the hell is going on here?

Yahoo is going to test Google ads on their site? Think about this people… Yahoo is actually going to run Google ads in order to raise revenue. And Google is okay with this. Did hell freeze over? Did I wake up in an alternate universe?

Yahoo Inc. is surrendering some of its advertising space to Internet search leader Google Inc. in an unusual test announced Wednesday that could be just the first step in a last-ditch effort to escape its unsolicited suitor, Microsoft Corp.

Then, on top of it all, Yahoo is in talks with AOL to combine their internet presence. Say what?

Yahoo also is close to unveiling a complex plan that would combine its Web site with Time Warner Inc.’s fallen Internet star, AOL. Under that plan, Yahoo also would spend billions of dollars to buy back stock to put some money in shareholders’ pockets, according to a Wall Street Journal story Wednesday night that cited unnamed people familiar with the matter.

And… Microsoft is planning a counterattack that involves bringing News Corp (and MySpace) into the equation by joining forces to buy Yahoo..

In a surprise twist, Microsoft has contacted Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. about joining forces to buy Yahoo, according to a New York Times report, also posted online late Wednesday, that cited people involved in the discussions.

I ask again, what the hell is going on? The next thing you’ll tell me is that people in desperate need of acne treatment are running the online world.
