Review: I still think AOL needs to be spun off if it wants to compete against MySpace and Google. Spin it off, let InterActive merge with it, and then buy Friendster and YouTube.

Review: Considering Yahoo's somewhat incumbent position within MySpace, they likely decided to walk away from an unprofitable deal. MySpace claims it will be receiving the majority of the rev share arrangement. Google really had nothing to loose, since they don't have a competing social network to speak off and Yahoo does. For these reasons, Google is the perfect partner for MySpace. Some of the terms of the agreement that have come out so far seem to suggest this deal could be quite one-sided. It may even be more profitable for MySpace than News Corp developing or acquiring their own search engine (ie, Ask.com or Technorati) -- certainly a lot less risky. Google may have been thinking defensive strategy here. (blog.360.yahoo.com/jawandapuck)

Review: Definetly amazed to see that Yahoo! didn't push the envelope to get this deal. Why on earth wouldn't Yahoo! or even MSN for that matter want to get ahold of the fastest growing site on the web today? Yahoo! is definetly backing down against the 800lb Gorilla known as "Google". We'll most likely see a spike in Google's revenue with this move, as I am sure they will monetize this and crank out the cash. Get excited. Google just got stronger....you feel it!?
