When I first heard of the Googloo deal on June 12 2008 I thought that Google was one step closer to world domination. As time went by details of an Adsense type of deal emerged and the market responded by sending the Yahoo stock downwards. Not very exciting. The possibiltiy of finding Google ads in Yahoo search results. I went on to wonder "How much money is in this for Yahoo and Google"? Well according to Yahoo the deal is worth approx 800 million USD/ year and 250 million USD to Google.Yawn! This is clearly a far cry from Microsoft's approx 44 billion USD Yahoo buy out offer. Uhmmm. Food for thought for Yahoo's share holders as they probably have it right up the Ying Yang by now. I am a big fan of all three companies but would it not be better if they got together to see how they could safeguard the web in the area of net neutrality and free wifi thus raising the penetration and inovation of the media to even more users. Where we are heading simply smells of a "Don't be evil" bucket if Yahoo gets swallowed up by Google or Microsoft.
