There has been a lot of buzz online over the past few days about Yahoo and Microsoft meeting to develop an advertising partnership, which happens to fall right before Yahoo 2009 1st Quarter earnings reports are announced today.
Seems that most analysts out there including myself believe that Yahoo and Microsoft working together is great for both companies, and needed to ultimately compete on the open market with Google. It would also be good for America, as competition is the core of successful capitalism, and an enhanced competitive market would surely help the economy.
Here’s a rundown of thoughts, rumors, analysis and other roundups of what could and may happen with Yahoo and Microsoft :
