In May 2007 I wrote a piece reacting to the rumors about Microsoft buying Yahoo. The blogosphere had a heyday with the idea. The “what-ifs” were flying around practically every blog related to search industry news.
Today, Microsoft threw out an offer of $44.6 billion to buy Yahoo. Yeah, several third world countries GDP right there!
It remains to be seen if Yahoo goes for it, but the feeling on the street is that Microsoft will own Yahoo at some point. Just a matter of time.
Isn’t it nice that you knew about this almost a year before it happened? What other blogs can you read that allow you to look into the future for marketing tactics and search news? 🙂
