    Scandalous Details Revealed But YHOO MSFT GOOG Dynamic Remains Intact: Tech Ticker, Yahoo! Finance

    Quoted: Documents unsealed Monday evening reveal some sexy details on the process inside Yahoo, but probably don't change the dynamic with Microsoft, Carl Icahn -- or Google, for that matter.
    ...
    Among the highlights:
    ...
    Microsoft made a $40 per share bid for Yahoo in January 2007, but was rebuffed by then CEO Terry Semel.
    ...
    Microsoft went public with its 2008 bid after attempting another private transaction and coming to the conclusion that Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang was adamantly opposed to selling.

    Icahn haz Yahoo? A true shark moves in… » VentureBeat

    "Icahn haz Yahoo?" That's their headline?

    Quoted: Icahn, a billionaire financier, sent an open letter to Yahoo Chairman Roy Bostock today. In it, he very matter-of-factly states exactly how the Yahoo shareholders, led by him, intend to take over the company by way of a proxy battle to replace Yahoo’s board of directors.
    ...
    Icahn also includes the biographies of all the members of the board he is putting forward. There are some good names on the list including: Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban (who sold Broadcast.com to Yahoo in 1999), venture capitalist Adam Dell, two Hollywood heavyweights (former Universal chairman and CEO Frank Biondi and New Lines Cinemas co-chairman and CEO Robert Shaye) and, of course, none other that Carl Icahn himself.

    Interesting Mark Cuban a part of Icahn's new board.

    SarahLacy.com: Once Delicious, Now Stale

    We were mentioned on Sarah Lacy's blog last month.

    Quoted: Michael [Arrington] appears extra frustrated because like most of us he wants Delicious to succeed. As a matter of fact, he named Delicious one of the Web Apps you can't live without in 2006, but then dumped Delicious in 2007 for BlueDot (Now Faves.com) because they were surpassed when it came to features.
    ...
    While Yahoo has been asleep at the wheel, countless new social bookmarking services have pulled ahead of the once king of online favorites. The best of the bunch being Magnolia and Faves.
