in a futher bid to avoid getting bought by the MicroSoft monster Yahoo! have announced a short experiment where both companies will share advertising space.
Google will be able to place ads alongside 3% of search results on Yahoo's website. This new, if short, alliance will hopefuly stave off further take over bids from MS. Recently MS have been linked with News Corp regarding a joint venture to buy out Yahoo; which is in direct conflict with a previous rumour linking News Corp with Yahoo! to stop MS buying them.
The rumour mill keeps on grinding as The Wall Street Journal reports Yahoo looking towards AOL for a life line deal!
Yahoo! is a great service to the open source community and we well know MS attitude towards words such as 'free' I hope MicroSoft and Steve Ballmer will get the idea and stop the buyout attempt.
