“Look, Microsoft would not be my first choice [as a merger partner] either. But AOL is not even my third.”
No kidding. I can't begin to imagine why that would be a good idea. I'm not thrilled with Yahoo merging with Microsoft, but at least it's a company with its act together. Let's see, the last time a large company merged with AOL, it turned into one of the worst deals in the history of corporate America. Not a precedent I find inspiring.
Yahoo should concentrate on getting its act together. Yahoo Mail is slow and buggy. I think the mistake that Yahoo made was trying to become a media company, and forgetting that it should first and foremost be a technology company. That's something that Google has not forgotten.
