The battle for Yahoo is really starting to heat up now with the news that "The Wizened of Oz" - Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation, is in talks with Microsoft about joining in its contested bid for Yahoo, a move that could result in the union of Yahoo, Microsoft’s MSN and News Corporation’s dreadful social network, MySpace. The New York Times calls the three-headed beast "a behemoth that would upend the Internet landscape." That's quite possibly the understatement of the year. It's sad that although Yahoo claims to have the most users on the Internet, it has never been to turn that huge traffic into a real money engine. Which is why potential buyers have been increasingly sniffing around, culminating in the Microsoft bid. Steve Balmer, CEO of Microsoft would give his right arm to be able to challenge Google for a bigger piece of the ever increasing search-based advertising revenue. No doubt, based on his track record, "The Dirty Digger" will demand both of Balmer's arms in the course of striking a deal.

Then we can look forward to beautiful MySpace like pages on Yahoo!
