As I was searching through the required blog list, I saw a post on Global Neighbourhoods called Yahoo & Microsoft, Yet Again? Oh No!. I realized first that the Global Neighbourhoods blog is definitely one of my preferred blogs out of the list. I enjoy the way things are written and it's just more enjoyable and fun to read. But about the article...It spoke of the possible merger between Yahoo & Microsoft where Shel Israel gives his opinion on the matter. He believes that this would basically be a terrible move for both the companies. While these two giants are thinking about a possible merger, Google is growing and expanding and getting way ahead of the competition.
So, this merger could be great for Google, but not the best idea for Yahoo and Microsoft. According to the article, he believes a merger like this is basically doomed to fail and that most of these never work out. He also makes the statement that the two companies should know "size is not the only thing that matters." So while Yahoo and Microsoft are debating whether to merge, Google is continuing to succeed and grow.

Interesting article. I wonder if both companies will listen to reason and realize that a merger may not be the way to combat Google. On that note you mentioned that the merger would be good for Google. Is that because it would fail? Or was there something in the article that stated the merger would benefit Google in some way?
