I am against monopolies. So we all have to put our SEO efforts in 2 baskets that cover 95% of the search market? MicroYahoo and Google are certainly evil. This is bad for the internet. It is Microsoft so they will get what they want. Deep pockets talk.

Just say "NO" to Ballmer! Ballmer, now, just doesn't seem like a nice guy (I'm saying now).

I think Yahoo's stakes in Asia (Japan, China, Vietnam, etc.) makes Microsoft's bid way too low!

I am a very happy, early investor in Yahoo and if I get a pile of cash from Microsoft, I will be hit with a hefty long term gains tax. So, I favour an all stock swap, or for Yahoo to continue to go it alone.

My opinion: Microsoft really needs Yahoo. They can never replicate Yahoo's Internet franchise. Microsoft probably will have to raise the bid by 10% to $34/$35 per share to make it fly.

Tony,

you don't sound like a very social person (in the digital sense of the word). Otherwise you'd mention what were your choices for Flickr, del.icio.us, and Upcoming.
