Over the weekend Microsoft dropped its bid to take over Yahoo!. This is an interesting development in what initially appeared to be an inevitable take-over.
This brings up a few questions:
- Who can compete with Google?
- What does this mean for Microsoft in terms of the next step to compete in Web 2.0?
- Where does Yahoo! go from here? They’ve been playing second fiddle to Google for quite some time.
CNN/Fortune has an interesting article that speculates about the above questions.
What are your thoughts? What do you see as the next steps for these companies? What can companies do to make a dent in Google’s seeming invincibility?
