Is Microsoft's Monopoly Shaking?

It looks like Microsoft is not going to give up easily on the fight against Google to be the Internet giant. It was supposed to be a smooth transaction, but it has turned into a disaster. As explained in CNN Microsoft's bid for Yahoo was given three more weeks to be considered or else Microsoft is threatening to overthrow the actual Yahoo board by going straight to the shareholders.
The threat and continuous pressure Microsoft is applying on Yahoo is unusual and I believe Microsoft is taking advantage of its power. At the same time, it looks like Microsoft is desperate to acquire Yahoo because they feel seriously threatened by Google. If will be interesting to see how Microsoft would react if it couldn't acquire Yahoo not even through their alternate methods. This looks like another big hit to Microsoft's monopoly! First it was Apple and now its Google...is Microsoft weakening??

Get ready for some online fighting!

Will Microsoft's take over of Yahoo be a threat to the internet?? One of Google's chiefs has already commented on this and it sounds really dangerous! Microsoft could really be aiming for an internet monopoly which would suck!! just like they did with the pc! imagine haaving to pay for everything on the web..hope Google fights this battle till the end!

Google and the "Open Innovation" revolution

looking at how blogging and networking have becomed so popular it is difficult to believe companies can can afford to reject these methods of communication. In the business enviroment these are called "open innovation" and multiple companies have began to open themselves to the world and established services for customers to express their needs so that the company can better serve them.
IBM is a company which has really taken advantage of open innovation and is profiting from it! Companies need to understand that in order to continue to succeed they must open up and join networks to better meet the needs of customers. I think that any company who rejects open innovation is taking a huge risk and could soon start feeling the effects of not joining.
Google has also taken advantage of this force and I think that all of its success is definetly due to the openess to the public! In fact I consider Google to be the starter of this revolution!
So heads up big companies! either you join the revolution or you could soon start suffering!
