Yahoo owns Flickr, del.icio.us and GeoCities, which appear to be (IMO) its most widely-known offerings. Everything else appears to be an also-ran when compared to Google, Apple or Microsoft. Certainly an aquisition would be bad for consumers, since it I imagine it would result in the elimination of products that compete with Microsoft's, such as Yahoo Messenger, the search engine itself, Yahoo Mail, Yahoo Widgets (formerly Konfabulator) and anything music-related. On the plus side, the All-Seeing Eye would probably get better... Well, that may be Microsoft’s best move in order to get a large, competing advertising network…but perhaps not much else.

Hmm.. contemplating buying Yahoo with cash no doubt. They got 35 billion in the bank and Yahoo is worth 36.. It seems to me that they can throw some money at this situation. This may not be anything to do with Google's Web 2.0 ventures but... You think something may be brewing in Redmond? ahhh.. what’s MS doing? Hmm.. contemplating buying Yahoo with cash no doubt.
