Yahoo co-founder and Chief Executive Jerry Yang issued another rally call to troops on Wednesday, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Microsoft and Yahoo once again speaking to each other, with sources saying the latest talks involve a deal short of an acquisition.
Although Yahoo executives speaking at an online ad conference on Monday were mum on Microsoft's takeover attempt, they were quick to tease a new feature -- due out this week -- on their home page which could be their rumoured competitor to social news aggregator Digg.
After talks broke down on Saturday, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer sent this letter to Yahoo chief Jerry Yang, signalling the end of the epic takeover attempt.
Yahoo may indeed agree to Microsoft's US$44.6 billion bear hug, but it will be over Jerry Yang's dead body.
On Saturday, Microsoft formally withdrew its offer to acquire the search pioneer, at least for now. So what happens next for Yahoo? A deal with Google looks likely.
As Microsoft's deadline for Yahoo to accept its takeover bid passes, the tech world is still waiting for information from either company on their wedding plans.
With Yahoo apparently off the table, what's Microsoft's back-up plan? Try again for Yahoo or go for a new target?
Nobody, least of all Yahoo and Google, doubted that the two companies' search-advertising deal would escape any antitrust scrutiny.
