This sounds like the easiest way for Microsoft to increase their ad center reach and market share, but I'm not sure either of these companies has what it takes to effectively compete with Google. It'll be interesting to see how this pans out.

of late "branding' has been a key word... in online business respect. Zen mentioned respect and tearing site apart as concern...

How will they deal with branding .... Yahoo online is a better brand name than MSN ... so do they blend or drop a name that has cost billionds to build brand recognition???????

"(...)joining with Yahoo!" Does this mean they won't tear it up and respect the site as it is?

I doubt they can touch Google even with their combined forces.
