Yahoo! in talks to be aquired?

Posted by Marshall on July 21, 2007 | Link It

Yahoo's Acquisition Gossip suggests Yahoo! maybe aquired soon, perhaps sooner than we think - and that will, somewhat, change the Search Picture, again.

"..The buzz on the tech street is that while Yahoo has made some smart acquisitions recently, like the great people over at Right Media, that Yahoo is up for grabs as well.   

This has been rumor for a while now…  I have heard speculation that it could be acquired by MSN and or SONY…  I think the entertainment/media angle would be smart.  But word from inside of a mega media conglomerate say otherwise.  Right now Yahoo is in serious negotiations with a leading global entertainment content company, who has a lock up on youth television, motion pictures and a wide range of digital media."

Could she spell it out more clearly?  How many companies like that are there?

"..I have two inside sources who have told me that their parent company is looking to benefit from Yahoo’s digital distribution backbone.  Stay tuned…  I will reveal the company's name soon."

Time Warner?   OK, makes sense.  How many companies can afford to buy Yahoo who are Global Entertainment Companies?  

We'll see what turns up in the news in the next two or three weeks, likely if this is a real story and not just another piece of gossip to drive the stock prices of Yahoo! up for the third quarter results.

It is not Time Warner. Thank you for quoting my blog. My sources have no reason to drive up the price of Yahoo…if anything they would want to drive it down prior to the acquisition. stay tuned!

Yahoo needs to first change its management.

They acquired Alltheweb, Altavista..
I personally think Allthweb was better than Google right before it was acquired by Yahoo..Google better thank to Yahoo for killing those search engines ……
