Google / Yahoo Spells Big Changes For Yahoo

Could this be the beginning of the end for Yahoo? Yahoo's interest in a search deal with Google was initially viewed as a poison pill move to thwart efforts of Microsoft to acquire Yahoo. I certainly saw it that way as did many others. Yahoo has continued down this path, announcing a deal with Google late Thursday afternoon. The deal basically outsources Yahoo's search ad placement to Google AdSense. Hey, I use AdSense on my personal blog, so why shouldn't Yahoo! The more the merrier I always say.

Rogers Wireless launches Yahoo! mobile search service

Yahoo! has made available its mobile search service Yahoo! oneSearch to Rogers Wireless and Fido customers across Canada. Yahoo! oneSearch is specifically designed for mobile devices, delivering relevant results directly in the first screen. Yahoo! oneSearch also gives consumers access to news, financial information, weather conditions, Flickr photos, web images, as well as web and mobile websites. Yahoo! oneSearch also allows Rogers customers to shop in a catalogue of several ringtunes, games, graphics and other content which will be made available in the search results. This announcement builds on the expanded Rogers Communications and Yahoo! multi-year mobile, broadband and PC search agreements announced late last year.

Microsoft-Yahoo Searching For A Price; Talks Could End Next Week: Reports

In the latest developments between Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) and Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO), Reuters reports that the two parties are now focused on arriving at a value for Yahoo’s search business, and that discussions could end in the “next week or so.” The story, which quoted an unnamed person familiar with the matter, said in the latest scenario, Microsoft is proposing to buy Yahoo’s search business and take a minority stake in the company after Yahoo sells off its Asian assets. But apparently, the complicated part is in determining a price. The source explained that any amount “would be tied to how revenue-sharing and other deal terms are structured.” Two possibilities: Microsoft may pay Yahoo for search queries and traffic acquisition costs and Yahoo may seek guarantees on the rate Microsoft will pay and a specific time commitment f

Yahoo, McAfee Create Safer Searches

McAfee and Yahoo have launched a partnership to create safer Web searching. The beta SearchScan, built on McAfee's SiteAdvisor, alerts Yahoo Search users to potentially risky sites. Yahoo was motivated to work with McAfee: A McAfee report last year indicated that Yahoo Search had the highest percentage of risky search results.

Microsoft's Yahoo Gameplay

Many Yahoo (YHOO) shareholders thought that Microsoft (MSFT) wasn’t done with Yahoo even when it said that it was walking away from the takeover bid. Some investors such as billionaire Carl Icahn decided to take matters into their own hands and work on a hostile takeover of Yahoo. Now Microsoft has come back to Yahoo and proposed a deal which would involve some sort of partnership or joint-venture rather than a full Microsoft takeover of Yahoo.

Yahoo! rejected Microsoft bid for search business, due to exclusivity clause

Microsoft dropped bid for all of Yahoo! on 8 June and launched a bid of USD 1 billion for Yahoo!'s search business and a share of future search advertising revenue. This proposal also included an USD billion investment in Yahoo! but required Yahoo! to commit to a 10-year exclusive arrangement, according to a letter sent to Yahoo! stockholders by CEO Jerry Yang and Chairman Roy Bostock. The letter explains the reasons for Yahoo! to sign a four year non-exclusive deal with Google for online advertising services and to end the talks with Microsoft, as their search-only hybrid proposal may have been helpful to Microsoft. The board and its advisers also carefully studied the financial impact of Microsoft's proposal and concluded that it would have provided no meaningful improvement to the operating cash flow.

Carl Icahn Takes on Yahoo's Board

narramissic and several others have written to point out that Carl Icahn has initiated a proxy battle with Yahoo's board of directors over their rejection of Microsoft's bid for the company in February. Icahn has purchased millions of Yahoo shares over the past week and assembled a group of nine other investors (including Mark Cuban) to persuade the board to resume talks with Microsoft. Yahoo remains unimpressed. Icahn's letter to Yahoo accuses: "It is unconscionable that you have not allowed your shareholders to choose to accept an offer that represented a 72% premium over Yahoo's closing price of $19.18 on the day before the initial Microsoft offer. I and many of your shareholders strongly believe that a combination between Yahoo and Microsoft would form a dynamic company and more importantly would be a force strong enough to compete wi

Microsoft Offered $40 a Share For Yahoo

fistfullast33l writes "Bloomberg is reporting that a recently unsealed court case by shareholders against Yahoo reveals that Microsoft offered $40 a share for the Internet search company in January 2007 and Yahoo turned it down. We've extensively discussed Microsoft's bid for Yahoo earlier this year for $33 a share, which was rebuffed. Investor Carl Icahn has launched a proxy fight against Yahoo over the spurning of the Microsoft deal." CWmike notes of Computerworld's coverage of the revelations: "The complaint places much of the blame on [Yahoo CEO Jerry] Yang, describing him as someone with a 'well-known' antipathy toward Microsoft who acted out of a personal interest to keep Yahoo independent. Something wrong with that? Oh, yeah... public company.

How To Structure a Yahoo-Google Search Deal

Even as Carl Icahn rallies angry shareholders to try to force Yahoo (YHOO) back to the bargaining table with Microsoft (MSFT), one of the “strategic alternatives” Yahoo may still be trying to work out in the background is a search advertising deal with Google. There is a 60 to 70 percent gap between what Google collects for search ads and what Yahoo collects, so simply handing over a portion of its search advertising inventory to Google would boost its cash flow and profits considerably—perhaps adding as much as $1 billion or more in cash flow.

Yahoo! Announces Microsoft Talks Have Concluded

Yahoo! (YHOO) today announced that discussions with Microsoft (MSFT) regarding a potential transaction—whether for an acquisition of all of Yahoo or a partial acquisition—have concluded. The conclusion of discussions follows numerous meetings and conversations with Microsoft regarding a number of transaction alternatives, including a meeting between Yahoo and Microsoft on June 8 in which Chairman Roy Bostock and other independent board members from Yahoo participated. At that meeting, Microsoft representatives stated unequivocally that Microsoft is not interested in pursuing an acquisition of all of Yahoo, even at the price range it had previously suggested.

GetANewAddress on Yahoo Domains

Yahoo Mail is the world's largest Webmail service and most of the names on its yahoo.com domain have been taken. With the new domains, Yahoo is giving users a chance to get the e-mail address they really want.

Yahoo Files Lawsuit Against Lottery Spammers

(RTTNews) - Internet service provider Yahoo! Inc. (YHOO) on Tuesday announced that it has filed a lawsuit against 'Yahoo lottery spammers' for sending unauthorized e-mail messages to internet users making them believe to have won a lottery or prize offered by Yahoo!. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court in New York City, under the Federal Trade Mark Act, the Federal Can-Spam Act, and related state laws. Sunnyvale, California-based Yahoo! noted that it does not offer any such awards and has no connection with the spammers or their e-mail communications. Further, the company said through continued litigation efforts it plans to go after individuals who have attempted to negatively impact Yahoo e-mail experience for consumers across the Internet.

Yahoo Ends Talks With Microsoft, Embraces Google Instead

snydeq writes with a story from InfoWorld which says that "Yahoo has ended its talks with Microsoft and is instead nearing an agreement with Google. Yahoo's purported reason for breaking off the talks? That Microsoft was only interested in purchasing Yahoo's search business, not all of the company. 'Such a transaction would not be consistent with the company's view of the converging search and display marketplaces, would leave the company without an independent search business that it views as critical to its strategic future and would not be in the best interests of Yahoo stockholders,' the company said in a statement. The deal with Google allegedly involves Yahoo's search advertising business. The move likely will draw more ire from Icahn and may in fact remain part of the elaborate poker game between the two companies.

Yahoo to run Google Adsense; Gchat/YIM link up...

Building on its text-advertising dominance, Google on Thursday said that it has reached an agreement to allow Yahoo to serve Google's Adsense search and contextual advertising as well as allow enable users on Gchat and Yahoo! Messenger to communicate without between the networks. Under the predicted non-exclusive 10-year agreement, Yahoo! has the option to display Google ads alongside its own natural search results in the U.S. and Canada and Yahoo! can serve contextually targeted ads on its U.S. and Canadian web properties as well as on its current publisher partner sites. Yahoo, however, is free to enter into similar agreements with other advertising providers and use Google's advertising on as many or as few of its search results and content pages as it chooses.

Icahn To Yahoo (Again): I Do Have A Credible Plan; Google Leaving You In The Dust

The spat between Icahn and Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO) really should be taking place in the comments section of a blog, given how repetitive and unproductive it is. Today the war of public letters continues where it left off Friday, as Icahn has sent another missive to the Yahoo chairman Roy Bostock. Icahn’s argument this time (paraphrased): ‘I do have a plan, and you are mis-stating my position when you say I don’t.’ On the case for replacing Yang: “It is extremely important to note that Google (NSDQ: GOOG) hired a great operator as a CEO who helped to transform the Company into a giant at the expense of Yahoo! According to publicly available financial information, while Google’s income from operations grew 59% per year over the last two years, Yahoo!’s income from operations shrank 21%.
