Are Microsoft and Yahoo! the Losers?

Published by Ken Stewart under Business, Change, Culture, Technology

Well, the technology and business world is a buzz with all of the latest prognostications on whose the loser and whose the winner. I must say, I’m a bit disappointed with Scoble’s “proof” on the matter - the stock market?

Microsoft v Yahoo! Who's going to remember Microhoo in 2 years?

I’m not a big fan of Ballmer, I certainly agree Microsoft needs a web strategy, and Yahoo! is going to go in the tank if they don’t get a clue - but I just don’t agree with using the stock as an indicator of whose right and whose wrong. These are a bunch of analysts on Wall Street who freak out when the wind blows the wrong direction.

Who are we kidding here, that was just a merge that would’ve ended up like Time-Warner and AOL - a culture clash akin to Clash of the Titans!

I will say Scoble is on track with the real winner in all of this being Google, but does that really take a brain child. I think Ballmer was flat out stupid for considering the Yahoo! purchase in the first place. But, Scoble - buddy - I thought better of your cognitive resources than to start yipping right along with the wall street dogs my friend!
