New digital monopolist? New rumors about a Microsoft-Yahoo deal?

Sunday, November 30th, 2008 by Michael Altendorf

All tech blogs start talking about a new Yahoo- Microsoft deal this morning. In London times is a article which claims that Microsoft only wants to buy the search business.

Kara from “All Things Digital” claim that there is NO $20 billion option that Microsoft takes over Yahoo completely.

After Yang announced his resission, Steve Ballmer already negated a complete Yahoo takeover but was open for a bigger partnership.

 

I think the picture will be more clearly tomorrow…

14 new business model for online markets

Thursday, September 4th, 2008 by Michael Altendorf

Gerd Leonhard just pointed to an article of Chris Anderson where he describes 14 new online business models.

Years ago I hated to learn his standard economics book “microeconomics” but afterwards it was also worth reading it. But I prefer his newer articles which are related to the online world like information rules.
