Google co-founder: Yahoo ad deal could work
,----[ Quote ]
| Page was also explicit about why Google opposes any deal between Microsoft
| and Yahoo, saying it would curb innovation in areas such as instant messaging
| and create a near-monopoly in communications.
|
| "If you put 90 percent of communications in one company, that's really a big
| risk, especially one (Microsoft) that has a history of doing bad stuff," Page
| told a forum held by the New America Foundation, a non-partisan think tank.

While Microsoft and Yahoo Fiddle, Google Burns

| Yahoo (YHOO) and Microsoft (MSFT) don’t have much time to get their acts
| together if they harbor any hope of preventing Google (GOOG) from completely
| running away with the internet search business. The latest figures from
| comScore shows Google’s share of core internet search rose 1.8 percent last
| month to 61.6 percent. Yahoo’s share fell 0.9 percent to 20.4 percent while
| Microsoft’s was down 0.3 percent to 9.1 percent.

| face of an Icahn proxy fight to get Yahoo! back to the deal table with
