MicroHoo: The Not-So-Bored Meeting!
Yes, the board of Yahoo is meeting today to try to devise new and more dastardly ways of wringing more money out of Microsoft.
For viewers just tuning in, so far this week on “As the Tiny-Incestuous-Petty-Juvenile-Digital World Turns,” Yahoo has been plenty busy:
An AOL mashup deal!
A Google search-ad partnership!
Even–cue the trumpets!!!–the late entrance of that man-about-Silicon-Valley from Web 1.0, Frank Quattrone, working for Google, which is helping Yahoo on AOL (and, fun, snake-eating-itself fact: as a banker, Quattrone worked for Yahoo when it was contemplating buying eBay).
This is so deliciously sweet, in terms of geek soap opera, that I fear I may get a major cavity soon.
