Shadowy skullduggery, twilight tete-a-tetes, and disseminated disinformation may have all been part of rumored talks between Yahoo and Microsoft about their online rival, Google.
What do Microsoft and Yahoo have planned? Will they spoil Google's Media Day next week with a groundbreaking deal announcement? Tell us what you think at Smiley and Karla meeting on the bridge in Smiley's People for intensity, the idea that Microsoft and Yahoo have conducted clandestine coffee-klatchs and mused over the downfall of Google just sounds so, well, 1970s.
Instead of the delicate and exacting tradecraft of spymasters being employed by the second and third place companies in terms of search engine market share, the Wall Street Journal luring Steve Berkowitz from Ask.com to take control of MSN.
There's money to spend in Redmond's war coffers, in the billions. They could spend it on Yahoo. It doesn't make sense to do that though. Unless Microsoft wanted to buy Overture and/or Project Panama to complement MSN adCenter, and combine their ad networks.
