Oh, The Wicked Web We Weave - Yahoo Partners Up With Google

Posted on March 12th, 2008 by Bompa

Microsoft has a BIG headache.

Yahoo has announced that it will become part of OpenSocial, which is Google’s way of spitting in the face of Facebook.

“Following previous reports that Yahoo is talking to Google about joining OpenSocial, we are now hearing that the decision has been made and that it will be announced in April. OpenSocial is Google’s social-networking platform that is a response to Facebook. Yahoo has been sitting on the sidelines of the fight between Google and Facebook for the hearts and minds of developers, and with this move it will place itself firmly in the anti-Facebook camp.” - techcrunch.com

How will this affect Microsoft’s takeover bid?

I dunno.

I just love all this corporate butt play.
