On Microsoft buying Yahoo!
Because I am supposed to have an opinion on the issue of MS buying Y!....
I’d say – go for it, Microsoft. Having seen how Microsoft handles this whole blogging thing the last couple of years, and having seen them handle the communities at MSDN and at other channels, I believe they will be a lot better at nurturing some of Y!’s communities. Especially flickr. Yahoo’s track-record in handling criticism and its content is less than perfect.
If the deal does happen, I will cheer. For, hopefully, it will ease the squeeze on flickr’s balls.
