The advertising alliance with Google that Yahoo was promoting as it savior died today. This deal was one of Jerry’s selling big points in declining the $33 per share offer made earlier this year by Microsoft.So who wins? In my eyes, Google comes up with a big win. First they derailed Yahoo’s takeover by Microsoft. Then they saw their market share continue to increase over the last few months as Yahoo continued to decline.I once went to a bullfight is Spain. I remember the matador plunging a sword into the bull early in the match. He then taunted and confused the bull as it staggered around the ring. The bull, once a strong majestic beast seemed unsure of its next move. One thing was certain. Only the matador was going to live to fight another day. Google reminds me of that matador.
