The big news "Microsoft-Yahoo: What Will Stay And What Will Go?" by Duncan Riley in Techcrunch really draws my attention. It is because both Microsoft and Yahoo are big IT company in the world. I am curious what will happen when Microsoft makes the $44.6 billion takeover bid.
I strongly believe that people will enjoy a better searching engine due to the combination of the strengths from both companies. People will get more accurate and sufficient information from this combined engine. Nevertheless, I also believe that this new searching engine will make Google be the first sufferer. Live Search, Yahoo, and Google are all the well-known searching engine in worldwide. Then, this new searching engine must be a very powerful competitor to Google. That's why Duncan Riley states that it just likes creating a "Google killer".
Moreover, there are a lot of technical problems, such as management of messanger id and email id, to be solved after the takeover. I think this problem can be solved by professional techicians, but the system and the change may make people confusing and inconvenient.
Finally, I still agree Microsoft's takecover bid. Infomation technology becomes an indispensable thing in human's life. People are always seeking the most updated technology. For instance, Apple was mainly selling Ipod Classic and Ipod Mini few years ago, but now we can see that most people are using Ipod Touch, Iphone, Ipod Nano with small-sized, big color screen, and new software. Therefore, I believe that Microsoft-Yahoo symbolizes that we are going into a new IT era.
