Microsoft Has Killed Yahoo! for Its Userbase

Raven



Summary: A news report about Yahoo says that "Yahoo will no longer have to spend money on developing new search technology."

AS we have shown here before, Yahoo's CEO is a former ally of Microsoft and a lot of former Microsoft executives took positions of power inside Yahoo. Now, this new report identified yesterday suggests that Yahoo! as a search engine might soon be history as Microsoft grabs its userbase globally, not just in north America. "The not-so-bright spots were led by a -12% drop in quarterly revenue and the announcement of additional job cuts at the company," quotes a reader, adding: "Yahoo's transition to combining its search-advertising business with Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) gets the blame for the revenue drop. Company executives predict though that the move will save money in the long run because Yahoo will no longer have to spend money on developing new search technology."



Mind the part which says "Yahoo will no longer have to spend money on developing new search technology."

“She will never pull out of the deal with MS to use Bing which killing Yahoo.”
      --Chips
This suggests that they will be channeling everyone to Bong [sic] sooner or later, just like Facebook and other 'sock-puppets' of Microsoft. "And there you have," said one reader, "MS deal with Yahoo gets the blame. But Yahoo's CEO, a second runner up to Ballmer in most incompetent CEO, is like a Trojan MS employee."

"Yahoo is a Bing skin," Ryan alleged.

"Yahoo wasn't always a Bìng skin, though," MinceR insisted, "they existed before Microsoft went all "me too" on the Internet" (and may soon get all of Yahoo's hard-earned search traffic).

"Carol is running Yahoo into the ground," said Chips. "She will never pull out of the deal with MS to use Bing which killing Yahoo. To do so would be to Yahoo's benefit, but would probably lose her the job. Which like Ballmer, she is going to lose anyway in time. Carol is just another Trojan."
