Do you want Yahoo to merge with Microsoft, or remain distinct?

I became a Yahoo member because I wanted to diversify my avenues to the internet. I also have a Microsoft account, but I use it for a different purpose. While stock holders of Yahoo see the money they will gain if Microsoft buys Yahoo, I am somewhat distraught--I prefer to have my distinct accounts. What about you?

Do you want Yahoo to merge with Microsoft, or remain distinct?
I think AOL will make Yahoo a better offer.
Reply:Simple. Once Microsoft and Yahoo become synonyms, just make a google account and you once again have diversity. There is no monopoly in this area and there probably won't be for a while.
Reply:Oh God, please NO!





That is a scary, scary thought. Too much power in one hand....





Who will check the balance of power?
Reply:Doesn't everyone merge with whatever monopoly pays them more money?





I think I'm going to give up, and live in Amsterdam.
