Google Considers Yahoo! Deal: Report

Google is considering participating in a bid for troubled Internet search pioneer Yahoo!, according to a published media report.

Senh: I could see how this could work, but like what everyone else said - how can two sinking ships float? If each of them can't make this work individually, how can they make it work together. It would be better if Yahoo just buy AOL's star properties individually (Techcrunch and other tech sites) and leave the rest (Huffington Post). Merging the two will just sink both companies.
