The New York Post reported earlier today that Microsoft is in negotiations with Yahoo! Microsoft is remaining hush about the meeting but a similar meeting happened last year with no results. Yahoo! shares rose 15% and yesterday their online marketing was worth a whopping $38 billion. Some analyst speculate that Microsoft may bid $50 billion for the search engine company but MS has indicated that some services are duplicated and would do them little good to purchase the whole company. Some analysts believe that Microsoft is attempting to gain Yahoo!'s online search advertising market.
Microsoft and Yahoo's share of the search advertising market would add up to 27 percent against Google's 65 percent but would bridge the gap in online ads with Google to just 13 percent.
