Microsoft and Yahoo or Microsoft and Facebook?
Hello Everyone,The Microsoft and Yahoo story continues, after 3 months of talks that Microsoft would buy Yahoo, it was announced this week that talks had collapsed. After the initial offer was increased last week Yahoo unfortunately had a different figure in mind causing the talks to fall through. At Soula we are not sure whether this is the last we’ll hear about Microsoft and Yahoo buy out.
For Yahoo, there seems to be only two good options, opening talks and negotiation or letting Google serve up some of its search listings.
On the other hand Microsoft are still keen to expand and are now reportedly showing interest in social-networking site Facebook. So why the change in direction? Microsoft have already shown an interest in Facebook having purchased 1.6 percent last year which proved to be a good decision as in the past year visitor traffic increased by 240%.
So as it stands Google remains firmly in the driving seat continuing to grow and remain dominant.
At Soula we are watching to see what happens next as different reports are coming out daily.
Soula have had a busy week and are enjoying the weather we are getting. We have been busy on major projects and working with some new clients to create some great designs.
Hope you enjoy the weekend, and the weather continues leading to a great summer!
