		<description>Carol who? oh you mean carol bartz, the woman who said &quot;she will kick some butt&quot; to raise yahoo from the ashes but obviously failed?

or the other carol bartz who bitterly said, &quot;Yahoo was never a search engine&quot; when she knew in her heart that Google see right through the company.

Or the far-version of Carol bartz, the one Mr. Icahn called a &quot;loser&quot;?

I guess those 3 carol bartz looks the same to me

		<description>I have been involved with SEO and search technologies for the past 8 years.  Yahoo in my opinion has always had slightly better results than bing/msn.  What this means to me is that, since Microsoft has lots of money, and yahoo does not, they are teaming up with a Microsoft in order to compete better against google.  Ok so we got all of that, I just don&#039;t want yahoo to get hurt in all of this because Microsoft has the deep pockets, and since they are the ones developing the search technology, I don&#039; t wan&#039;t them to take it away from Yahoo.. and say ok this tech is ours.  Yahoo should have measures in the deal that says everything developed by Microsoft in this field also belongs to yahoo.  I really like the idea of this deal, as long as Microsoft plays by the rules.</description>

		<description>I hate this deal,  bings images results are OK since you dont have to click next page everytime but the rest of the search is bull5h17  i love Y! search, again the images were all flickr but lately they have been adding great innovations like color search, background size search n stuff. 

Yahoo needs to be careful with MS since they are known to backstab their partners once they got what they wanted outta them. I personally think that yahoo built the web as we know it and it should remain as a key player.  I use everything yahoo and encourage people to do so, your email is a much better experience than gmail, i dont even open hotmail anymore, i have cause most my friends use live messenger, but i personally hate the livemail experience, yes, gmail might have better technology but i dont see it and i like the Y!mail much better, much more with this new apps they showed off recently. 

Best of luck to Yahoo and please be careful since Id hate to start using google from now on because I will never be an advocate of the big MS and its &#039;ive got so much cash i can buy everything&#039;  well u cant buy me as a consumer so .... 

    go YAHOO and go OPENSOURCE</description>

		<description>Every corporate deal finally stands against users,byers or subscribers.otherwise ther is no needof DEEAALs.

Microsoft itself is monopoly hungry and wants noother opponent in the field.its products are monopoly based.even its softwares are monopoly based.and many us courts confines microsoft for its wrong policies.

for instant,i am common home pc user and i am victim of microsoft many many ways.microsoft do not wants any other software in my PC and on the neme of error not the programme only shuts but the whole website will closed suddenly.and you will see in wonder what happens.i think mirosoft should be soft to other market colleagues and to users like me.</description>

		<description>I never was a Yahoo! fan, but I can clearly see the need for competition in the search engine business. Bing is terrible and the Yahoo! search engine is many times better than Bing. I really hope you&#039;ll save some backups, Yahoo!, for the time when you&#039;ll decide to break the agreement with Microsoft - that time will probably come sooner than you expect.</description>

		<description>Very nice deal.

&quot;Yahoo! + Microsoft Bing&quot; must get at least 40% usage and succeed in bringing google usage down to about 40%.

Consumers and advertisers need real competition. 

Giving up google for BING is like giving up a &quot;Black and White TV&quot; for a &quot;color TV&quot;. 

Happiness!</description>

		<description>And don&#039;t reference your self-promotion site in explaining...that site gives all hype and no information.
Just tell us the facts.  Who is doing what?  MS is funding development of Yahoo Search?  MS is running Yahoo Search now?  Or what?  Just the facts ma&#039;am, not hype like &quot;internet ecosystem&quot; and unfulfilled promises like &quot;better everything else&quot;(!).</description>

		<description>Hm, people cried when Jerry didn&#039;t make a deal, now they cry when Carol does.  Seems yahoo can do no right in some people&#039;s eyes.  Carol, your image needs a re-branding.  I don&#039;t mean a change your logo sort of thing either.  People seem to expect bad decisions from the company.  

If the superior Yahoo Search will be turned over to MS for them to develop, that would be great.  If however, you have just become the marketing arm of Bing (which I hear sucks), that would be less than good.

You have some clarifications to make, maybe?</description>

		<description>This news is potentially the most frightening that I have heard. If it transpires the way that it sounds then I have severe doubts as to possibility of our compnay surving.

At this time we are extremely satisfied with Yahoo PPC advertising - less so with google - and Microsoft is a complete and utter failure. With exactly the same terms and adverts the result is almost zero expenditure with them and almost zero clicks and business. In pursuit of what they keep referring to as &quot;relevance&quot; they seem to have cleverly come up with a system that actually precludes searchers from finding the thing that they want and can find readily on either Yahoo or Google.

Please think hard before changing to their algorithms, or whatever it is that produces this situation

Sincerely,

John Webley
President. KOLNEX.</description>

		<description>Carol
  I think this was long time coming. Yahoo is much better managing media and content properties and let MS and Google headbutt on the search area.

Does this deal also include MS acquiring any of the great technologies Yahoo already had in their search product areas? or those technologies will be left to die their natural death? I am sure they would be worth something for microsoft - IP/patents whatever. and might be some salvage value for Yahoo.

		<description>Awesome deal. Yahoo already makes the best online applications for internet users. The added search enhancement will make it truly the only starting point for me on the web. My one request is that when they do make searches more &quot;personal&quot; that they still honor people&#039;s privacy - something I don&#039;t feel that Google does with either searches or their mail.

Keep up the great work, Yahoo!</description>

		<description>we have seen everywhere the news, most of it negative..........i guess it is a good idea to create on &quot;front Yahoo.com some little friendly spot where &quot;Yahoo/you express your point of view about the steps you take because not so many Yahoo user get here on your blog (most of them don&#039;t even know you exist), and in that negative reflection of your concurrence the truth can disappear easily and your company become a &quot;Corp.&quot; only, and &quot;userlittlepeople&quot; don&#039;t like Corp&#039;s official point of views...too distant/untouchable/too big..........and in relation with Microsoft can be helpful some human touch.</description>

		<description>After achieving my M$oft free status, I am unlikely to have any dealings with a tie-up between Micro$oft and Yahoo! Particularly so since Yahoo Mail is now starting to cause me ongoing problems, so that I am increasingly using Gmail as my preferred free service. (Gave up on Hotmail years ago).

After reading the comments here from people far more knowledgeable than myself, it would seem that it&#039;s mostly unfounded optimism that is being clutched at by the approvers of this alliance.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s good news for the people who search online and need better results as competition among search giants end up in better results for us.

But, it seems that Yahoo is taking right steps toward more focus on what it needs to be known for as number one. It&#039;s not easy to be number one for everything. Yahoo can leave search to Microsoft and become the social portal that it likes to be.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m Really SORRY you signed &#039;the deal&#039; in secret and early before the &quot;anti-trust&quot; group could analyze this! Micro$oft is an EVIL company!! Bill gates is even worse, infact M$=bill gates+, did you &quot;know&quot; that he is STILL the head of micro$oft in &#039;secret&#039;??? shhh...and I &quot;seen&quot; him, &quot;HONEST to God&quot;, comment how happy &quot;he is&quot; about this &quot;STUPID&quot; deal going through about a dozen times with different names!!! bill gates &quot;sales pitches&quot; how great his stuff is and how GREAT he is too; on &quot;ALL kinds of Blogs&quot; again under MANY different aliases!!!!! 

People, &quot;LEARN his EVIL VOICE&quot; and RESEARCH what a Madman we have in the World alikened to the antichrist!!!!!! He &quot;CAN&#039;T EVER&quot; be trusted...if you only &quot;KNEW&quot; what a CROOK and &quot;RUTHLESS MONOPOLIST&quot; he is and how MANY Innocent people he &quot;MERCILESSLY&quot; put away by bribing judges and governments around &quot;GOD&#039;S WORLD!!!!&quot;, because they didn&#039;t follow &quot;his PETTY laws&quot;!!!! 

On the other hand, &quot;he BREAKS &#039;SERIOUS LAWS&#039; ALL THE TIME&quot; and has been for years as he puts these &quot;INNOCENT&quot; people away, because he has &quot;OUR money&quot; we gave him for years, to do it... He&#039;s become way too POWERFUL in an Evil sense!!!!! &quot;God and &#039;HIS&#039; People&quot; are fed up with gates&#039; Confusion and Fear tactics too...and EVIL World DOMINATION!!!!!!!

Any Microsoft/gates fan or NOT -- should read how he weasled his way out of the &quot;Microsoft Anti-Trust Settlement&quot;...http://news.findlaw.com/legalnews/lit/microsoft/

Lastly, bill gates ONLY wanted the SEARCH part of Yahoo for &quot;his own debase reasons&quot; which will be &quot;EXECUTED in the DARK&quot;!!!!

		<description>If you want to provide your users an awesome search experience, there is an obvious solution - Google. If you do not trust this/are not willing to come with terms to reality, try making the searchbox on your homepage configurable, and see how many of your users set it to Google.</description>

		<description>This is a sad day for Yahoo! .

We have another company where the CEO is brought in to bring the stock back up at all cost. Few years, or even months down the road, we get some better stock prices, and then what? So that investor can sell off their stocks and run as fast as they can. There is no future for Yahoo. The downhill road has just begun.

A company that does no innovate will eventually have to be buried. No, Microsoft does not innovate. It just take a little longer for them to disintegrate, but eventually they will.</description>

		<description>I have long used Yahoo as my default search engine but I suppose it will be time to switch search engines at long last. I really don&#039;t care for either Bing nor Google,  I wonder how well Ask.com will suit my need. Guess it&#039;s time to try it out. Good luck with your partnership.</description>

		<description>I&#039;d like to second the opinions of others in this blog who point out that the stock went down 12% yesterday after the announcement (way to go, Carol) and that this just wastes all the hard work done by myself (a former Yahoo) and countless others to improve the search engine over the years. We&#039;ve even seen statistics that show that the quality of the search engine has improved and thereby brought in more users. I don&#039;t know why you want to totally throw all that out the window and hand over a search engine which has 19% of the market share to one that only has 8% of the market share. Now, I&#039;m not a business person or anything, but that just doesn&#039;t make any sense to me. It looks more like suicide than anything else. 

Like I said in my previous post, I can only hope that the worst will not happen to Yahoo as a result of this move but it really makes me wonder at this point. Not only has the stock gone down but if you&#039;re handing over the search engine completely to MS, then you&#039;re putting thousands of people in the search dept out of a job. How is that good for Yahoo?? Ohhh, of course, money makes the world go &#039;round right? =P Pardon me while I puke...

And you mention that you will focus on &quot;what Yahoo does best&quot;... I&#039;m sorry, I thought that Yahoo was a SEARCH ENGINE. Isn&#039;t THAT what you do best?? I know that you&#039;ve branched out and have many other departments now but Yahoo remains known as a search engine and that&#039;s how it started out. So much money and manpower has been spent to improve that search engine over the years and we (I say this as a former Yahoo) have succeeded in doing that. Now you&#039;re just throwing all that away and acting like Yahoo has more important things to worry about. Wtf is that...  

I could talk about the ramifications of this all day but I think I&#039;ve said enough. This is all on your head now, Carol... all these comments and the stock speak for themselves. This was not the right move at all.</description>

		<description>Damn I&#039;m a few days late on this one!

It seemed like it was only a matter of time before MS and Yahoo got together in some way or form. I&#039;m still surprised that Yahoo declined the MS offer to buy them out but maybe this is a result of those talks.

I wonder what google make of this and if they&#039;re quaking in their boots? probably not.</description>
