This will never happen but:
Wouldn’t it be nice if the brightest brains at Yahoo! Search, Microsoft Live and whomever is left of Ask.com (who would be asked to leave voluntarily because nobody wants to muck about with big Barry-D anymore), merged to form a somewhat separate company?
It would be the greatest gift to the collective intellect if some sort of magic freed those incredible minds from the tyranny of the stupidity they toil under today. For what it’s worth (and that could be a great deal), Yahoo! and Microsoft could share ownership of the entity. They could entertain each other’s management trees with graphics and pie charts and innumerable high-power meetings; whatever… As long as they refrain from interfering with people who are clearly smarter than they are, the new joint entity can probably run itself.
As things stand today, something has to break.
There is no way Yahoo! is ever going to challenge Google for search market share. Nothing short of the Pope exposing Sergey or Larry (or both) as the Anti-Christ on steroids is going to change that. Last month, YouTube scored almost as many search queries as Yahoo!. They’re almost not even #2 anymore.
