Microsoft +Yahoo Vs Google – My take

I dont understand one thing.. the focus seems to be mainly on the Yahoo + Microsoft merger and the claim seems to be to combat Google. I think this is a stupid reason for Microsoft and Yahoo to join hands. I mean if their focus was to provide a better technology or make a major breakthrough its fine.. but the very fact that both companies,  Microsoft and Yahoo have not really utilized social media to explain why this merger is happening tells me they are clueless .. All I can see everywhere is “fight Google to stay alive”

This is bogus! They are trying to reinvent the wheel?? Google came up with something radical. If I was Microsoft or yahoo, I would rather tie up with the niches in the industry and find something new to come up with rather than spend bucket loads of money on a fight. I dont think the online community should even think of accepting this reason because we are happy with google.. so come up with something else !! who wants just another search engine with integrations?? Let the exisitng people take care of that .. Something radically new is what is expected of companies like Microsoft and Yahoo who potentially have of a lot of funds..

Its like two old men hooking up with the same old ideas to impress some investor! completely stupid .. Think MS & Yahoo.. Think dammit!
