When Google settled the initial suit, Yahoo! ultimately made $1 Billion on the sale of that stock. Do you honestly think they would walk away from a similar pay out because a bunch of people think they shouldn’t?

Most of the people that are coming out saying Yahoo! shouldn’t do this probably have a reason to be concerned. I would venture to say that the Venture Capitalists that are coming out against this are investors in Facebook or another company that could be sued by Yahoo! for the same reasons.

Yahoo! is a stagnant company that needs a shot in the arm. It’s not a dying company. They’re a company without a consistent identity. They are a media company with a tech infrastructure that thinks it is a technology company. Everyone thought AOL would die, but it’s still around. Yahoo! has too many eyeballs and visitors to die. They may get acquired, but Yahoo! is one of those brands that won’t just disappear. They’ll get lumped into comfort brands like Johnson & Johnson, Sara Lee, and Allstate. All notable, but they aren’t sexy innovators.

Google used to be a hot brand, but they are now finding themselves falling into the commodity brand category.

Yahoo!’s actions, whether you like them or not, will have repercussions far beyond this suit with Facebook. The internet is still the Wild West. Legislators are trying to figure out what to do when it comes to lawlessness on the WWW, until then, companies have to legislate themselves. Facebook in this case is the Outlaw that stole Yahoo!’s cattle…and Yahoo! wants them back.

No small feat? Are you sure about that?
The code would take a few hours at most to write. Then all you would need is a few dozen servers. I could have all the data inside of a month, while spending less than $5,000 to lease the servers.

Just saying.

No! Its a shame no one every bitch slapped Zuckerberg, lord knows he derserves it!
