Bigger fish (July 14, 2003)

The AltaVista saga continues: Yahoo’s buying Overture. The purchase price is 1.63 billion, which is pretty damned impressive. You gotta figure the AV and Fast purchases made the deal much more attractive to Yahoo, considering that those portions of Overture will allow Yahoo to replace Google as their search provider. Congratulations go to my compadres at AltaVista.

It's a crazy world. Are congratulations in order, though? I have NO idea what they're planning.

All this snapping up of properties has an
uncomfortably familiar ring to it ...
