Pistol Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/21/technolo...r=1&oref=slogin I don't look at Rivals much, but I use Yahoo a lot. Any ideas how this would affect Rivals- will it improve or become worse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidnark Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Does this mean google will be buying Scout tomorrow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbofive Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I would think that it would become much better. I've never really seen Yahoo! fail, except w/ their messenger maybe... I would expect a lot more uniformity in the way things are presented at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbofive Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Well... I never used those, so they never failed, to me at least I guess I meant to say that Yahoo! is my homepage, I use Yahoo! Widgets to great satisfaction, several friends use their e-mail, news is good, I like the 9, sports is getting better, esp. w/ Steve Kerr as an analyst, etc. I'm sure you're right, but I know that I am definitely entertaining a subscription once Rivals switches over.

BleacherBum593 Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Scout.com was bought up by Rupert Murdoch and Fox back in 2005. It was one of three internet sites that he bought up around that time. He paid about $750 million for the 3 sites, which also include MySpace and a gaming company (the name of I can't think of off the top of my head). IIRC, he paid in the neighborhood of $60 million for Scout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 It's all relative but Yhoo stock has done nothing but go down over the last eight years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
