Man I'd love it. I'm so sick of these Google fanboys everywhere. Yahoo is still a player, and something like this could really give Google a run for their money.

Remember, competition online is good for all of us!

I don't like it. I want more SEs, not less.

Yahoo and MSN combining gives them what, 10% of search market share?

This is rad

Hopefully a worthy rival in the contextual advertising market will come out of this.. Im sick of Adsense.. being an international publisher

bring the heat bill!!

I think the talks were squashed. I can't find the article though.
