Yahoo! Buys Inktomi For $235 Million
As the search engine mergers continue to grow, it seems more than apparant that yahoo! and google are going to stay strong. For the tech-heads, Google still reigns supreme while Yahoo! offers more for the general consumer. Let's just hope they mix like oil and water. Rumors are flying that Google will go public in 2003. However, this might be a problem...now the great Google ideas will be corrupted by the corporate "cog". Or will it? Time will only tell. Here's a snipit:
"For Yahoo!, the deal appears to be a move to boost its search capabilities. Yahoo! is under growing pressure from the increasingly popular Google of Mountain View, Calif. Although Google currently powers Yahoo!'s search capabilities, Google has started to show signs of Yahoo!-like portal aspirations, leading some to question the future of the relationship."
