Microsoft Buying Yahoo?

Scott — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 14:26:21 +0000

This morning it looks like Microsoft is offering 44.6 billion dollars to buy Yahoo. Holy Cow. That’s a far cry from the usual things I see when I browse my morning Twitter feed.

Scott — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 13:37:44 +0000

I’m not talking about them selling the company, (although there are rumors) I’m talking about their integrity and their overall credibility as a search engine, by appearing to sell the number one organic search result to the highest bidder. Yesterday I attended the Internet strategy conference in Portland, and one of the speakers was Cammie [...]
