		<description>I'd say that, if G were to finally have a serious competitor, there would mainly be positive advantages as far as webmasters are concerned, since a company who finds itself in the position of having to actually fight for its market share will be a lot more careful than one who is the only big player :)

		<description>Sure, but on the other hand, having two big players is always healthier than having just one with a lot of competitors, but none of them serious :)

		<description>After all I think Microsoft is able and is going to buy up Yahoo. If they do that, it has some advantages for us, but of course it has mainly disadvantages. Why? Now Microsoft is becoming bigger and  then you have to optimize your website for two search engines: google, yahoo and MSN live. I think it is not human to optimize your website well for all search engines.</description>

		<description>I woke up and this was all the rave on StumbleUpon. I remember reading about this same thing last summer. With Yahoo being the vulterable teenage girl and Microsoft being the older, cunning man, who knows what will happen.

		<description>I've been expecting Yahoo to be sold for a while, and I hoped in my heart that Microsoft would be the buyer. It will be interesting to see how things evolve. I'm sure that this acquisition will make Microsoft more of a competitor... although it's still way to early to measure the effect on Google.</description>

		<description>I don't know how will the transaction goes but having lesser competition on the Internet might give webmasters problems, one of them which is very significant now is the dependence on Google.</description>
