The BBC reports on Yahoo! CEO Jerry Yang's announcement yesterday that his company is still for sale, despite vigorously fending off Microsoft's acquisition attempts earlier this year.
To this day the best thing for Microsoft to do is buy Yahoo," said Mr Yang. "I don't think that is a bad idea at all, at the right price whatever that price is. We're willing to sell the company," he told a packed ballroom at the Web 2.0 summit in San Francisco.
This comes on the heels of Google's withdrawal from a search advertising agreement with Yahoo! that had drawn the attention of federal regulators.
Flickr founder Stewart Butterfield shared his thoughts on a Microsoft acquisition after it fell through last year.
Once the ball was rolling I would have rather seen the acquisition happen. I think a lot of damage was done to Yahoo. Not only from a company perspective, but from a leadership and morale perspective.
