so that is why they didn't
so that is why they didn't want to chase after MySpace.
MySpace is the second most popular community behind Ebay. Well done Y!
This has to be good for Yahoo
Once again, as major search engine alliances are being formed and deals being done... MSN is nowere to be found. Looks like the only way MSN becomes a big dog is if they just end up buying Yahoo outright sometime down the road. And I bet Google inks a deal with Myspace before MSN. BTW...Its been my limited experience that trying to advertise to the myspace crowd when they are only interested in doing whatever it is they do on Myspace is a pretty tough go and just may not prove as profitable to google or MSN... as one might think.
I think Yahoo made the right move staying away from Myspace.

They should merge
Yahoo and eBay makes a lot of sense together IMO and the combination would be such a financial juggernaut that Google and MS would have good cause to be nervous.
... And Microsoft may buy EBay

I could see Microsoft
I could see Microsoft swallowing eBay, Yahoo! and Amazon if they were allowed to.
