Yahoo!/Google

I got to tell you, I think I spend more time on Yahoo! that I do on Google. I love Yahoo!'s finance page, I use their Yellow pages service all the time, and I use Yahoo! IM. With that being said, I would one would imagine that Yahoo! would be able to demand a large premium for the loyalty of its customers. There are a lot of people out there rooting for Yahoo! to take it to the next level and build a premium service and compete head to head with Google (I think MSN and AOL are a lost cause at this point). I think it would be good for competition, and the industry.

Yahoo! needs to buy Facebook to make this leap. It would be a tremendous move for them. They almost had it several months ago, but valuations got expensive. I think those valuations would be looking pretty cheap by now. Who knows what they'd have to pay for it now??
