The MSN’s bid for Yahoo has opened a can of worms with major players in the web like AOL, Google & News Corp all coming to the picture now. When MSN bid for Yahoo, it was like an another bidding war. With Yahoo rejecting the bid, it made way for other biggies in the web world to enter the fray. It seems Google’s CEO Eric Schimdt has also sought the advice of former investement banker who played a key role in the IPO of amazon, Netscape & others. To ward off the bid, Yahoo introduced many HR policies which would put a big hole in the packets of Microsoft. Yahoo is also mulling a plan of aliging with  AOL & testing the Google adsense ads. News Corp also entered the scene with MSN & trying for Yahoo. Congress is also considering whether yahoo’s testing of Google ads will have FTC into the picture. So the ball is in the courts of Yahoo now as to which way it will stike it. Would it be an advantage for MSN or will Yahoo stike an Ace.
