Merrill Lynch analyst Justin Post is playing matchmaker for Yahoo and Microsoft, tossing some logs on the fire, lighting the candles, and playing Marvin Gay's "Let's Get it On."
He thinks the Internet has-beens should shack up with Internet wannabe Microsoft so they can face gangbusters Google together. Makes sense. What with Microsoft's yet-to-be-proven AdCenter and Yahoo's still unproven Panama ad platform--the two are entrenched losers to Google. If you're not first, you've last. And Google is putting some distance on with serial blockbuster numbers.
“A Microsoft-Yahoo combination would be in a better position, in our view, to compete against Google,” Mr. Post wrote in a research note Monday.
