You got it right, Yahoo and Microsoft Corporation did not finish the deal. Recently, Microsoft plan to merge with Yahoo search engine offering a $44 billion, but Yahoo felt it’s not worth it to distribute this amount to its shareholders.

Microsoft had publicly released a statement about the turn down. You may want to read the statement posted in the Microsoft site here.

What do you think will be the effects if these two giant corporation merges? Who will benefit from the merging? Does Microsoft felt inferior to Google this days?

These are just few of the questions that linger in my mind. Thinking that I am only one of those small entrepreneurs trying to find some luck in this virtual community will be the most affected one. Presently, we have four search engines on the top competing with each other: Google, Yahoo, Microsoft and Alexa.

It means that we have four search engines where our products could be located by internet surfers, but when the two merges together, this will create unfavorable effects especially to those small and medium internet entrepreneurs. Instead of four (4), your products or services will now only be seen on three (3) search engines. An Obvious lesser opportunity for every to compete online.

We should not be aware only on the events in the real world. We should be always aware of what is happening around the virtual community specifically on the events and actions being done by these giant internet corporation and search engines. They are the life line of every internet business.
