Reuters is reporting that Yahoo might consider a business alliance
with Google as a way to top a $44.6 billion takeover proposal by
Microsoft. 'Yahoo management is considering revisiting talks it held
with Google several months ago on an alliance as an alternative to
Microsoft's bid, that source said. At $31 a share, Yahoo believes the
bid undervalues the company, two sources said. A second source close
to Yahoo said it had received a procession of preliminary contacts by
media, technology, telephone and financial companies. But the source
said they were unaware whether any alternative bid was in the offing.'
