We had a ring-side commentator’s view of the Yahoo! situation on Webcology yesterday when we were joined by San Jose Mercury News columnist Chris O’Brien.
The 30-minute interview covers a lot of ground. The goal was to get a deeper look into the intricacies surrounding this story and there are few better independent sources than experienced journalists. Chris has covered the business side of the Valley for years. He has a detailed understanding of corporate mergers and the forces that compel them. Chris has spent the last six months working to help his readers figure out the twists and turns of Microsoft’s attempted take-over of Yahoo!
We start with a basic background and move quickly into the public and back-room maneuverings that have made this saga one of the most fascinating tech/business stories of all time. To hear the interview, please click on the WebmasterRadio.fm podcast widget below.
