ON: Yahoo’s Acquisition Gossip

The buzz on the tech street is that while Yahoo has made some smart acquisitions recently, like the great people over at Right Media, that Yahoo is up for grabs as well.

This has been rumor for a while now... I have heard speculation that it could be acquired by MSN and or SONY... I think the entertainment/media angle would be smart. But word from inside of a mega media conglomerate say otherwise. Right now Yahoo is in serious negotiations with a leading global entertainment content
company, who has a lock up on youth television, motion pictures and a wide range of
digital media.

I have two inside sources who have told me that their parent company is looking to benefit from
Yahoo’s digital distribution backbone. Stay tuned... I will reveal the company's name soon.

Hey Joanna
Regardless of who is the mystery comapny is, I would love to hear your opinion on what would be a more lucrative transaction; Sony or MSN.
MSN would gain reach and Sony would gain a non existant digital distribution network.
I am wondering which of the two you think would be best to take on Google (if that is indeed the winning move)

I think Apple could make an excellent suitor, and they have the market cap to make this a possibility, but that is not who you are talking about. I don’t know. Disney? Vivendi?
