I just started using Twitter yesterday, and I can't believe how late I am to the party. I'm feeling really lame that I'm not such an early adopter as I thought I was. But I guess, now that I've started, it's really frustrating not to have a bunch of followers that I want to tell stuff. So feel free to start following me at http://twitter.com/andefred
I'm still trying to catch on to the blogging train and even though I strongly believe that blogging will make you more productive, I'm not so good at practicing what I preach. well well... maybe this twittering will make it easier for me, and as I again move more towards business I will be blogging more, and hopefully start blogging more on Tablefinder as well.
Recent news say, Microsoft has bid $44.6 billion to buy Yahoo in a combination of cash and stock.
This is quite a lot of money to say the least, but what would it mean for the market?
I really like Yahoo for their openness, and much dislike Microsoft for their closed nature. However, Microsoft have started to get a lot better these later years. Will this be their best move towards openness so far? If they keep Yahoo's current strategy I think it is. But if they close it up, it will be very bad for the community.
Yahoo's strategy seems to be: "If we provide good packages for free, cool stuff will happen". This is very similar to google's strategy, but it seems that Yahoo doesn't have the cash flow to keep up with Google when buying cool ideas. Yahoo-Microsoft probably will if they work more towards openness and free.
