Yahoo’s CEO, Carol Bartz said Wednesday she would be open to striking a search deal with Microsoft if they offered “boatloads of money.”
“If there’s boatloads of money and the right technology involved, we’d do a deal, sure,” Ms. Bartz said at the All Things Digital conference. “It’s that simple.”
Ms. Bartz also said Yahoo was interested in acquiring social-networking and video start-ups, noting that video advertising has grown sharply in recent years. She added Yahoo, which has cut thousands of jobs in the past year, doesn’t plan further layoffs.
Exactly how much is a boatload of money?
I guess it depends on the size of the boat.
“I guess it depends on the size of the boat.”
And how many of them since it’s plural 🙂
Sorry, but I believe that boat has sailed.
lol – David, well said! 🙂
I’m still shocked to this day that Yahoo didn’t take the M$ offer back then…
It sounds like Carol has been having lunch every day with Jerry b/c they both sound like the same character.
I’m not shocked – they turned down Brin and Page after all, leading to a little startup you may know of called Google.
