I'm constantly on the look out for better ways to search, advertise and advertising networks to participate in. Sadly, Yahoo and MS have been unable to do so as separate entities. Now with a merger all their energy will go into reducing duplication, not innovating and beating Google. They won't want to fund two search engines, two ad platforms etc so which will end up winning. My guess is more open road for Google. I’m all for someone providing good competition for Google.

I agree with what you say. I just hope Yahoo & MSN reads this and want to prove you wrong... "Combining two companies that DO NOT GET IT is NOT a recipe for competing with one that does." This absolutely true. But optimistically, wouldn't it be nice if Yahoo & MSN actually came up with something that allowed them to compete with the internet ruling Google? Good article.
