I did a post on march 19th http://www.thesemblog.com/2008/03/keeping-up-with.html showing Google, Yahoo! and Microsoft and their stock volume and Google has been sliding since the beginning of the year hitting $413/share on March 10 2008. A number that they haven't been at since June of 2006. http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=GOOG#chart12:symbol=goog;range=20060417,20060821;charttype=line;crosshair=on;ohlcvalues=0;logscale=on Pay Per Click numbers are down as well. http://www.alleyinsider.com/2008/3/google_february_paid_clicks_lousy_again_ and it looks like the diving economy coupled with Microsoft's inevitable take over of Yahoo! spells bad news for them. Google may just have to rethink their motto of 'Don't Be Evil' Dan

If you do that same 3-month comparison between Yahoo and Google stock performance, you'll see that Google's value has DECREASED 30% in that same period. So the wisdome of crowds is that Yahoo will win and Google will lose if a deal with Microsoft or another company happens. I don't understand how it benefits Yahoo, its customers or the user community to continue limping along in a losing effort to keep up with the market leader.
