According to reports, News Corp. and Yahoo are in discussions about combining MySpace and other News Corp.owned online properties with Yahoo.
Reportly News Corp. would get a stake in Yahoo, and a private equity firm to contribute cash to the deal.
The deal would allow Yahoo to remain independent while giving News Corp. substantial control over a huge array of Internet properties and advertising opportunities.
We here at thedomains.com woudl prefer this deal to the acquisiton of Yahoo by Microsoft.
The two companies have considered various deals several times over the past 18 months. Previous talks have fallen apart amid disagreements over MySpace’s valuation.

I’m w/you on this idea as well.
Whatever they do together, in likely most any relationship type, is much preferable to a Microhoo.
In my viewpoint this is a real “ABM” situation…Anyone Besides Microsoft.

If yahoo goes the way of MSFT, we have problems.
The only hope we will have is strong ICA lobbying through the merger approval process.
