POPSYahoo turns to Google. Microsoft cries foul. Very interesting move by Yahoo! They may be able to significantly increasing their earnings by integrating Google's search ads on their own site. Talk about a potential blow to microsoft. To think that they're left crying foul about this being anti-competitive after all these years is beyond ironic.

POPSGoogle still kicking Yahoo and Microsoft's ass! The part I actually find most surprising is that over 40% of the U.S. search market doesn't use Google. But considering how hard Microsoft and Yahoo are trying to catch them, it's amazing that they haven't been able to make any progress.

POPSMicrosoft getting serious about buying Yahoo! Maybe, just maybe, the recent "losses" to Google in acquiring DoubleClick and YouTube were Microsoft's way of goading Google into acquiring those companies so that Microsoft could more easily acquire Yahoo without any anti-trust problems. Possible?

POPSGoogle to buy the Pacific Ocean This is from a blog post i wrote in September of 2005. Felt like digging it up and clipping it in honor of Google's latest multi-billion dollar acquisition. This time it's DoubleClick. Man, it seems like it's not if, just when, they will be bigger than Microsoft.

POPSOm calls out Carl Icahn I don't know enough of the facts to form my own opinion. The only thing i'll say about AOL is that i just don't see how they will ever grow their audience again. It just imposible to me...unless they begin buying up hot, new properties that together can offer a better online experience. Seems to me though that Yahoo is the one doing this.

POPSGoogle and Yahoo focusing on TV 1 Company per continent by 2012. If so, my predictions are: - Google - Microsoft - General Electric - Energy Conversion Devices (alternative energy) - Clipmarks :) - one that hasn't started yet - can't decide on the others.
