Google Looking To Buy Yahoo
 

Google is mulling purchasing Yahoo and has contacted at least two venture capital firms to help buy the company's core business, according to a report.

Google and prospective partners have held discussions, but haven't put forth a formal proposal to buy the search giant, according to The Wall Street Journal, which cited "a person familiar with the matter."


As the story notes, any such deal is likely to raise red flags among antitrust regulators. Google's not the only one rumored to be interested in buying the troubled Yahoo. Microsoft, which has a 10-year search deal with Yahoo, is also said to be interested.

No fucking way.. then they will apply Panda to yahoo SERP's too and we'll be doomed!

that will be sweet move, they can move up yahoo for sure...

no it will not. In a healthy market you wanna have diversity.

i truly believe that Google should control everything

we're fucked!

World Domination Looms !!!

wouldn't that be monopoly?

It might feel like a monopoly but I doubt that it is since anyone can put a search
engine online. Anti-trust is another thing though. That will probably be where
the problem will arise.

seems like it would work well for microsoft to buy yahoo. too bad yahoo couldn't do better

taking over the world.........

I think that both the FTC and the EU would put forth some heavy effort into stopping it.

Google for president!

Yahoogle.

Googhoo.

Google should not be allowed. They have enough problems getting google right.
I hope it does not happen.

what the hell is wrong with yahoo?

Yahoo's in a partnership with Microsoft for advertisements (and even then, their share of the PPC $$ is 1/3 of google's)....good luck with that one google.

I sure hope Microsoft ends up buying it.

Never happen -- Anti Trust Laws ...

we are screwed for real, we/they need competition, diversity., but this move is gonna fuck us all very hard.

panda everywhere, purchase api usage.,and many more............fuck google

they are broke just like adult webmasters :P

Apple should buy them...

Wise words mate, have to agree with you 100% :thumbsup
