A moment of silence please for the death of Yahoo.
It appears the ongoing purchase war with Microsoft’s Bing is in its final stages of wrapping up. Yahoo put up quite the fight, founded in 1995 and sadly loosing fans to Bing and Google by the minute. Today, Yahoo decided to throw in their long lived towel and leave the hardball for the new wave pros.
Microsoft will go from owning 8 percent of the U.S search market to 28 percent. This is still less than half of Google’s 65 percent, but will certainly give them a jump with their soon to be search war with Google.
So, let us all take a moment to remember what a fantastic job Yahoo has done. 14 years in the business and I still can’t get their “yahoo-oo-oo” commercial out of my head.
