Getting the Microsoft and Yahoo to compete against Google? unbelievable. Not many businesses can claim that they have had such an impact in today's culture to warrant an entry in the dictionary. The founders of Google, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, can boast that and so much more.

This deal sounding so great. The acquisition of Microsoft with Yahoo could be a positive move for several reasons. First of all Microsoft hopes to gain a foothold in the online advertising business and this merge would enable that. Also this move would “allow the two companies to pool their resources in order to take on a common enemy — Google (Charts, Fortune 500) — as opposed to wasting money by competing against each other” (La Monica). Microsoft needs a strong merge in order to improve their revenue and me a strong competitor with online advertisers.

There are several other pros associated in competing with Google jointly.

Wow! Finally Microsoft has reached a deal Yahoo for an internet search partnership. Will the newly announced deal between giants Microsoft and Yahoo be a good thing? Got to wait and see. But atleast Microsoft and Yahoo deal is straightforward and not complex at all and ofcourse, the negotiation talks have been going for long. I was just curious to know all the past negotiations between Microsoft and Yahoo so collected all the articles and links (more than 200) related to the current merger and the previous events or negotiations between Microsoft and Yahoo.
