Yahoo deal or no deal?
Source: Fortune
Fortune is reporting that Yahoo, now overshadowed by Google, may be flirting with AOL. A Yahoo- AOL merger would be a face-saver from Yahoo's Terry Semel, who was outflanked last year by Google when it swooped in to become AOL's search provider and got a 5 percent stake in AOL as part of the deal. What's killing Yahoo, the web's largest audience base? Status quo. They keep missing the big deals - MySpace, YouTube. Fortune sees it going one of 4 ways: Buy AOL, sell to Microsoft, merge with eBay or stay the course and be patient. What does your crystal ball say?
