 Microsoft wants Yahoo. Yahoo doesn’t want Microsoft. Yahoo asks Google. Google says No. Microsoft pushes the envelope. Yahoo partners with AOL. Yahoo allows Google AdSense.

Did that confuse you? That’s OK. It’s a baffling ride altogether. Yahoo reminds me of the scene in the Titanic. The Ship is sinking and there are thousands of people dog-paddling to stay afloat. Only problem is only 31% of the ships’ passengers were saved.

Yahoo has been the dominate player for over 10 years. There are many things that contribute to that - one I believe is the fact that every time you turn around Yahoo was asking you to install their toolbar and make Yahoo your homepage. Especially in the office place, this can definitely take the advantage.

There are two strategies that could be looked at. The first is that Yahoo is trying to breath more life into the company. They feel Microsoft is a bad idea, but are willing to put their hopes into AOL, which would then get them into the back pocket of Time-Warner. However, you don’t dance with one devil to avoid the other one.

The other one is to leave a tattered shell of a company for Microsoft to buy. It’s what most are calling “Land Mines”. The idea is to mess up the office so when the new boss shows up they have a lot of work cleaning it up.

At any rate, I am not going to speculate whether Microsoft will or will not get Yahoo in the end. There are too many variables in the way. I do know three things if Microsoft does get their hands on Yahoo: 1. Yahoo employees supporting Jerry Yang will either not be there or not have a job 2. Microsoft will have a lot of work, but they’ll do it, and put Yahoo on the right track, which would mean a stronger web presence for Microsoft and 3. whatever the outcome, Yahoo might just be the Titanic with 31% of the crew surviving.
