Microsoft to Buy Yahoo!

 Microsoft is positioning itself to go up against Google by a move to buy Yahoo!

 

Quoted: 

"Microsoft has offered to buy the search engine company Yahoo for $44.6bn (£22.4bn) in cash and shares."

"The offer, contained in a letter to Yahoo's board, is 62% above Yahoo's closing share price on Thursday.

Yahoo cut its revenue forecasts earlier this week and said it would have to spend an additional $300m this year trying to revive the company.

It has been struggling in recent years to compete with Google, which has also been a competitor to Microsoft."

marami gumagamit ng google search engine...google dito, google dyan...lahat-lahat nag-gu-google...malaki ang nage-generate na income ang google sa mga ads...kung 60% ng million-million na gumagamit ng search engine eh google ang gamit, at maski kalahati lang ng 60% na iyon ay magcli-click ng isang ad kada araw, imagine how much income ang nage-generate nila...gaya na lang ng Google AdSense 'di ba?...Income Channel ang search engine...yan ang gusto ng microsoft...lahat ng aspeto sila bida :)
