SoftMicroHooYas!

by Andrew Milo

So, in case you’ve been under a rock, Microsoft has put in an unsolicited bid to buy Yahoo! for $31 a share, or $44.1 billion.

Score one for Google - they sure have upset the apple cart to prompt such an unprecedented move.  And, at the same time - OUCH for Google.  They’ve finally pissed off the giant.

Check out more information here.

Really, the biggest question in my mind is how will this be branded?

  • Microsoft Yahoo!
  • Yahoo! by Microsoft
  • Microsoft, the Yahoo! people
  • Microsoft, the company formally known as Yahoo!
  • Yahoo!, the company formally known as Microsoft
  • YaMicHrooSoft
  • And, my personal favorite, Soft MicroHooYas!

 My biggest fear?  They they will put a yodeling paperclip in all their advertising.   **Shudders-to-the-Bone**

Grand Oligarchy of the Computerized World?

HAHA! Grand Oligarcy of the Computerized World is quite appropriate, but it would be a real bitch to get on a business card. :)
