I don’t think MS is so evil like everybody are saying… Google is or could be evil or more than MS… the search market need to have more players and MS is the only one that can fight with Google. Google also, is taking much more effort to destroy other Internet players as you can see with it’s new 3D environment to fight with Linden’s, the GMail came with fight with all free mail and last month, they are hosting web sites and small apps with databases… so… fighting with all multbillion hosting marketing… but nobody said that is not good… So… we have to wait and see how the things will come… to me, Yahoo must to close this deal with MS… just to make a good balance.

This is a great topic. And certainly one that deserves some really close scrutiny. In fact I wrote about some potential motives for Google, Yahoo and Microsoft on my blog premiernetclicks.blogspot.com
While google and yahoo may like each other, business is business. If you read my blog you have to consider what kind of monster google could become if they are not challenged.

Puuuleease …. Google as good guys?
As long as Yahoo doesn’t mind feeling like a excess son at a FLDS Texas compound.

Anyone who does business with Goog and MaGoog sure know how the brides feel.

Goo-Hoo! Anyone?

For the biggest player to want to absorb the second biggest player, rather than see the second and third biggest players amalgamate into what could be a potentially dangerous adversary reeks of mopolistic behaviour.

There always are different ways at looking at same point. While I love Google – I also belief that a stronger competition for Google could challenge Google to get even better.
The sum of MSN and Yahoo traffic combined still would be far less than 10% of Google traffic in my high traffic web site. Hence I see no threat from a virtual “marriage” of the 2 “e-dwarfs”. MSN never has been popular in Search Engine, nor in anything else …
thus ONE foul egg joining a good “cake” spoils the cake more than the good egg saves the foul egg.
Means the marriage of MSN with Yahoo may spoil Yahoo reputation more than helping MSN.
It certainly is an important issue on the e-market and having 3 better/stronger competitors on the search market would be much better than 2 but neither MSN nor Yahoo seem to manage to overcome their past outdated way of doing things.

Monitize YouTube? Why not. Everything is monitized these days. Why not have it become a subscription site?

Say $7, $17, $27 a month. That’s the way everything is going. It’s over the top. G can afford the bandwidth anyways. All they have to do is keep “slapping” people around. There good at that.

I think Google is already a dangerous internet company with it’s monopoly and website penalization strategies, merging with Yahoo would be a complete disaster for website owners. Google would then own practically all of web search – they could then kill any website/business they wanted.

I agree with Jestep…Having Google merge with Yahoo, will make them the greatest company ever…

Jordan,
You’re my inspiration – you totally have the snarkiness nailed

Here’s my only regret – I don’t have the graphic design skills to do. I wanted a superhero graphic with a “G” on the chest and Eric Schmidt’s face.
Too bad it would take me hours and still look horrid.

Google is the definition of evil. They take industries and make them free, killing the existing businesses. They would like to make a commodity out of everything. If google had their way, they would be the only business on earth.

I also think it’s a a load of crap. Google isn’t exactly picture perfect.
