Microsoft wants to buy Yahoo for $50 billion and asked Yahoo to resume acquisition talks. Yahoo! reportedly agreed.

Following the news Yahoo shares jumped 17.96 percent to $33.24 in Nasdaq trading on Friday, while Microsoft shares fell 1.26 percent to $30.58. The two companies have held informal talks over the years, but the latest approach comes as Microsoft seeks a deal to counter Google’s rapid growth.

If the deal goes through, how would MSN and Yahoo search engines operate? Would they stay separate or become one Search Engine? These are the questions bloggers would like to know, because different blogs have different search rankings in Yahoo and MSN results. Well, let’s wait and see.

    it’s a hoax - a game play by certain people to gain fast bucks … how much do you think these insiders made from the jump in yahoo stock price?

    - Maybe, anything is possible.

    Poor Microsoft, King of our home computers, but not of search engines. This will automatically grant MS 2nd place.

    If I owned Microsoft, I would buy Yahoo in a New York minute.

    So, what’s next; who will eventually buy-out eBay? Is this where this is leading to?
