But I'm sure Carl Icahn is probably still trying to force Yahoo to sell. I don't think yahoo is going to get bought anytime soon baring in mind they rejected the $47 billion+ offer from Microsoft.

But give BT credit! You might want to check out the side-by-side comparisons of our post Sunday and Reuters, 36 hours later, here: http://kara.allthingsd.com/20080519/more-microhoo-news-some-actually-new-too/ In any case, Walt and I are really excited to have you onstage at D for a bracing discussion of where the news and information business is going. And also about all your gadgets! ;) Tom:

What is remarkable and a huge credit to you is that your combined access and insight can put you on equal terms with huge news organizations on the core media-tech stories you choose to cover. Reuters journalistic rules (which btw the editor in chief and not I enforce, but I support) prohibit the reporting of rumor or speculation, which means there is a healthy environment in which both reuters and Boom Town can add to the reader's understanding of a developing story. Reuters professional users expect us to wait until we can report on more than a hunch or insight, and this means sharp commentators like you can add real value as stories develop, including adding your personal viewpoint. see you in carlsbad tom I think each of Reuters, WSJ and you have excellent contacts and sources close to the yhoo-msft story.
