The figures are robust, suggesting Yahoo! is strong like mother russia…jokes aside, these gains are most all in the US market, which is pretty saturated. International growth would ultimately be a better indicator of longer term viability. What is Yahoo’s market penetration in China? Here in South Africa Yahoo does poorly, my monthly analytics show maybe 2% of organic traffic from Yahoo, vs 95%+ from Google.

I was surprised when I saw the stock go down, but I think you may be right people were hoping they'd tank so the sale would go through. I'm still hoping Yahoo can remain independent. I don't really see how the combined companies are going to be any more of a challenge to Google and if anything I see Microsoft ruining the things I still like about Yahoo.

“Were investors hoping for a poor quarter so that Microsoft wouldn’t need to raise its offer? Does the after-hours drop suggest investors believe the deal will no longer happen?”

Seems to be true. Personally I don’t be happy if Microsoft will acquire Yahoo, the less “monopolistic giants” are on the market the better for us.

Poor Yahoo. Can’t win for losing. I thought we were supposed to be rooting for the underdog.

But hey, WTG on fooling people.
