Microsoft and Yahoo Reach Deal

Posted by kdawson on Tuesday July 28, 2009 @03:45PM from the rhymes-with-sting dept.

e9th writes "We know that Microsoft failed last February in its attempt to buy Yahoo. Now, Advertising Age reports that they've reached a deal. Instead of a buyout, the two will enter into a revenue sharing agreement, and Bing will become Yahoo's default search engine. The meat of the AdAge article can be found in Yahoo News. This deal may give Google something to worry about."

Good idea. Most people probably wouldn't think to cancel their account, but an announcement from an important person like yourself will serve as an example to others. If it were anyone else we wouldn't care, but you..... you are truly special. Thanks for taking the time to share your personal life with us. Please, in the future, continue to let us know which companies you will abandon out of spite.
Just one reminder though, Yahoo was never your friend. Nobody working at that company gave two liquid shits what you or anyone you know has ever done. It's OK though. They didn't care, but we do.
