I normally avoid acquisition articles until it is a done deal but this is just too bizarre, yet likely, to avoid; Microsoft may acquire Yahoo!
Why should I care? I use Flickr and del.icio.us. I also use Yahoo! Pipes.
To wake up one day and find three services I like and use being owned by Microsoft, who so far have 0 websites/services I like or use, would be strange.
I am not totally against it mind you. Though I’d start running the moment Flickr was told to use Silverlight and ASP.NET. Supposedly I’ll have to switch my Flickr login to Microsoft Passport too. Flickr users won’t like that one bit.
Strange times.
