What happens to the Yahoo and Microsoft deal?

Talks between Microsoft and Yahoo continue as the market closes and the business week comes to an end. Every signal is that the two sides are close to finalizing a deal, somewhere between $33 and $37/share. But are we going to see a deal at all?

If there isn't a friendly deal, is Microsoft going officially for the hostile take over? The market supports Yahoo's claim for "more money" as the stock price rose as much as 11% May 2, 2008 and closed at $28.68.

Analysts are pretty much guessing about a deal to be wrapped up over the weekend and announced on Monday. Their estimate for a cash/stock mix is in the $35 range. Microsoft has signaled that they’ll go as high as $33 this week.

The main reason Microsoft has changed strategies seems to be the willingness of Yahoo to do a search outsourcing deal with Google in the event Microsoft walks away or goes hostile.

The threat is very real, and some experts say that regulatory approval of such a deal would not be as difficult as some have speculated.

Twitter on your Google Calendar

"You Didn’t Realize It, But You Really Want Those Twitter Messages In Your Calendar. Posted: 26 Apr 2008 05:15 AM CDT."

No, I didn't and I've to figure out how to do it. My first thought was that it makes a lot of clutter. But I could also use Twitter to send out a continuous stream of information.

You Didn’t Realize It, But You Really Want Those Twitter Messages In Your Calendar


Belgium-based Twistory launched into private beta today at MobileWebCamp.

It’s a very simple tool, built by Tijs Vrolix to show off his coding and design skills: Subscribe to messages from any Twitter user in any popular desktop or online calendaring application (iCal, Google Calendar, etc.). Those messages are then automatically added to the calendar, at the appropriate day and time.

Helge: Have to check it out...

Useful? I don’t know. It’s certainly useful to closely monitor/stalk people (or yourself). If you want to add my daily words of wisdom to your calendar, my page is here (which also includes a graph of total twitter usage by day.

Helge: I thought about the same. Am I going to deliver something that has some value for people coming to my page?

Investing time and talent in Web 2.0

"Investing time and talent. At the third annual Web 2.0 Conference in San Francisco, dozens of industry players will gather to break down topics like Internet infrastructure, Net neutrality, mashups, data protection and the future of podcasting and especially video," from my blog posting 11/7/06 11:31 AM.

“Google has acquired JotSpot. Existing users: Rest assured — you will continue to have uninterrupted access to your JotSpot account! Our support team is still available to help you.” Is the information on JotSpot’s home page. Google is busy profiling itself as a leading Web 2.0 company. They move around with pockets full of money and go for innovative new ventures active within the Web 2.0 framework.

But what happened to JotSpot? I don't have a clue about how it was integrating. Haven't seen the effects of JotSpot.

“But for any similarities to the late '90s Internet craze, today's Web 2.0 buildup is a kinder, gentler bubble, say entrepreneurs and investors.” Reports ZD Net.

The eventual Web 2.0 bubble has been overshadowed by the housing subprime and banking crisis in US.

Where are the European counterparts to this development? There is a lack of big Internet players in the "Old Europe". We might have a healthy garage level development here, but nobody is fooling around with big junks of money and searching for new ventures to invest in. That might be one of the reasons to our relative invisibility. European Web 2.0's don't make headlines. We continue to do our daily work, struggle with our projects, but we don't know how to make the buzz and how to get traditional media and broadcasting attention.

  • Jaiku made it 2007 (aquired by Google)
  • Web 2.0
  • Attention Economy
  • Innovative Collaboration Friendly
  • Interactive and User Generated Content

"JotSpot is a wiki company that Google acquired last week," I wrote November 2006.

Acquisitions by he big players are helping to fuel entrepreneurial creativity. Experts say new online business models are more mature, compared to the dot.com boom, and give today's Web start-ups a better prognosis for lasting for a longer time.

  • We might have a slightly different timespan
  • Web 2.0 started in the Silicon Valley, The San Fransisco Bay Area
  • The big players have given YouTube, Writely, Flickr, JotSpot, etc. big visibility
  • eBay managed to buy Skype from Europe to the US West Coast
Ordinary people are a part of the bubble, while the user generated content is a big part of the success of high-profile Web 2.0 techies. But this time, users are not investing their hard-earned dollars or euros in the new ventures, they are investing their time and creative talent.
  • We're the world (The wisdom of the crowd, Crowdsourcing, Creative Collaboration)
  • Like in the 60's, Bob Dylan, one man and a guitarr
  • A new surge of small start-ups
  • Big doesn't need to be beutiful
  • The small players are receiving attention
"Why the sudden boom in Web 2.0 companies? There are a few reasons, both technical and business related, say investors and analysts. More people have high-speed Internet connections, making applications such as photo, music and video sharing feasible. The underlying software to build Web services is being upgraded as well, lowering technical barriers that existed only two years ago," comes from my blog posting 11/7/06 11:31 AM. I recycle it an analyze what's new.
  • Broadband is now also becoming mobile
  • The digital camera has more pixels; quality is superb; smaller, lighter
  • Smart phones and digital cameras, plus video
  • MP3 players, iPod and iTune and iPhone
  • Blogs are easy to use free expression forums
  • MyTube says it all - it's my tube for visual expression
What has changed in one and a half year? The Web 2.0 is maturing. The applications have more depth. The "crowd" is getting bigger.

InternetNews Realtime IT News – Google Sees Surge in Web Use on Hot Mobile Phones

InternetNews Realtime IT News – Google Sees Surge in Web Use on Hot Mobile Phones: "Google has seen increasing Internet activity among mobile phone users in recent months since the company introduced faster Web services on selected phone models, fueling confidence the mobile Internet era is at hand, the company said on Tuesday.

Helge: What are those models?

Early evidence showing sharp increases in Internet usage on phones, not just computers, has emerged from services Google has begun offering in recent months on Blackberry e-mail phones, Nokia devices for multimedia picture and video creators and business professionals and the Apple iPhone, the world's top Web search company said.

Helge: I see, it's Blackberry, Nokia, Apple iPhone.

'We have very much hit a watershed moment in terms of mobile Internet usage,' Matt Waddell, a product manager for Google Mobile, said in an interview. 'We are seeing that mobile Internet use is in fact accelerating.'

Helge: This also explains the gossips for a coming Google Phone.

The growing availability of flat-rate data plans from phone carriers instead of per-minute charges that previously discouraged Internet use, along with improved Web browsers on mobile phones as well as better-designed services from companies like Google are fueling the growth, Waddell argued."

Helge: The flat-rate data plans are very important.

"We are actually seeing a 20 percent increase in the number of searches by people," Waddell said.

Helge: The post-PC era is emerging.

Microsoft expects to have sold 20 million Windows Mobile devices by the end of its fiscal year in June, which together with Blackberry and Symbian-based phones represent upward of 85 percent of the Internet-ready smartphones sold in the world.

Helge: Microsoft is part of the game, sure. It has a bigger base than Apple. How about Motorola?

Users of phones based on software from Research in Motion, Nokia's Symbian-based phones and now Microsoft Windows Mobile can download the software at mobile.google.com.

It's prime time for selling online properties - Mar. 5, 2008

It's prime time for selling online properties - Mar. 5, 2008: "But with all the big media shops coming to the table with propositions, it becomes evident that no one is really holding the winning hand, at least not in a game against Google.

Helge: Internet Web 2.0 and Google. What happens in Europe? The picture isn't just as clear. We still have all these national markets, brands and operators. It will be even more difficult for European companies to show it big.

MySpace, for example is the largest revenue contributor of all News Corp's Internet businesses. The popular social networking site has money coming in, but its largest deal is a multi-year guaranteed payment plan with Google, which will eventually bring in $900 million for its share of online ad sales.

Helge: MySpace, News Corp and Google.

Last June, News Corp's booked $50 million as its installment from this gravy train. Silicon Alley Insider's blogger and Net media analyst Henry Blodget estimates that MySpace had $600 million in revenue last year. That's merely a ripple on the company's $28.6 billion top line.

Helge: Old media still holds the lead, true.

The point here is pretty much well understood: for all their untapped Internet revenue potential, media conglomerates have yet to strike it rich in their online ventures. TimeWarner's AOL deal set the industry standard for failed Web opportunities and squandered resources. (TimeWarner is the publisher of Fortune.)"

Helge: How to make money with online ventures.

Techcrunch: Microsoft and Yahoo Merger

Techcrunch: "Big mergers tend to fail more often than not, especially when companies are trying to combine operations as opposed to adding on new standalone capabilities. One of Microsoft’s biggest mergers was Great Plains Software, which was a success specifically because Microsoft pretty much left it alone for a couple years and let it operate independently.

Helge: Let it operate independently is not an option with Yahoo!

That is not an option with Yahoo. the merger is a collision waiting to happen. Integration is going to be rough and will slow down the merged company. Nobody believes that a combined Microsoft-Yahoo will be a nimbler competitor than either bureaucratic organization is today on its own.

Helge: MSN might suffer more than Yahoo in the beginning.

Not that any of this matters from Microsoft’s perspective. The logic of the deal is to gain scale as an advertising platform and as a Web publisher. the two go hand in hand. The more Web pages and traffic you have, the more ad inventory you have to sell. Everyone is focused on search, because that is where Google is so dominant today.

Helge: Inventory to sell.

But remember, while search ads make up about 40 percent of Internet advertising revenues, display ads still make up about a third. And that is where Yahoo is strongest. Microsoft needs to bulk up on display ad inventory before Google’s DoubleClick deal goes through. If it can fix search, that would just be a bonus.

Helge: Display ads into context!

A combined Microsoft-Yahoo will help it compete against Google in display advertising, which is still an open game..."

OpenSocial - Google Code

OpenSocial - Google Code: "The web is better when it's social The web is more interesting when you can build apps that easily interact with your friends and colleagues. But with the trend towards more social applications also comes a growing list of site-specific APIs that developers must learn. OpenSocial provides a common set of APIs for social applications across multiple websites. With standard JavaScript and HTML, developers can create apps that access a social network's friends and update feeds."

Sprint in talks with Google on mobile apps: source | Technology | Reuters

Sprint in talks with Google on mobile apps: source | Technology | Reuters: "NEW YORK (Reuters) - Sprint Nextel Corp, the No. 3 U.S. mobile service, is in talks to put applications from Web search leader Google Inc on its cell phones, a person familiar with the matter said on Wednesday. Google is in talks with some of the largest U.S. wireless carriers to make a deeper move into the mobile industry, an area it views as key to future growth."

Helge: Google moves from Web to Mobile and plans to cover them both. Still no news about the gPhone. Google is organizing to improve the social media Orkut. What are we going to see or hear before the end of this year?

U.S. wireless operators have been spending billions of dollars to expand their services to mobile Web surfing and entertainment, aiming to boost revenue by enticing consumers to use their phones for more than just talking.

Helge: We need better mobile phones with bigger displays and useful keyboards. The post-PC isn't here yet.

Twitter is faster than Google!

Helge: jjprojects is right. Specific information is available through human advisors on Jaiku and Twitter. It's fast and it's possible to have a dialog. I can't ask Google the same way. Does this mean that the humans are back in power again?

ARE YOU OUT THERE IN
THE CYBERSPACE SEARCHING
FOR INFORMATION?


jjprojects: Twitter is faster than Google!: "

Twitter is faster than Google!

I want to say a few words about how I've discovered that asking Twitter can be faster than searching Google, if you want a question answered.

As my Twitter network has grown (currently 378 followers), I've come to rely on Twitter more and more. Nowadays, if I have a question about just about anything, and especially anything tech, I'll ask Twitter first. Then I might turn to Google to search, while Twitter is pondering the answer.

Usually I don't get far past bringing up the search window before I have several great answers from Twitter, and then a few minutes later there will be many more. Sometimes it even sparks a discussion on the topic. You just can't beat that. As I keep saying, Twitter is faster than Google.

Trust the twitter, the twitter knows all. The wisdom of crowds.

What are your thoughts on the matter? Got any good examples of this?"

With FriendCSV, Data Sneaks Out Facebook’s Back Door

With FriendCSV, Data Sneaks Out Facebook’s Back Door: "As we’ve suggested before, there is an underlying problem with many proprietary systems - such as Facebook - because information inside of them tends to get trapped. Information flows in but not so easily back out.

This can be very frustrating for users who wish that the highly personal data stored in social networks could be transferred to other applications for other uses.

Indeed, Google reportedly has plans to compete with Facebook by ending this frustration and providing a more open social networking platform."

I wrote about it in my HULIQ article.

Google Saving $10bn buying Finnish Jaiku!

Google, Jaiku, GPhone, and Orkut make an interesting mashup that can lead to a re-evaluation of rumors that Google is competing with Microsoft to buy Facebook.

Microsoft is probably now even more interested in Facebook. Google is improving its own services. The Finnis mobile giant didn't see the opportunities in Jaiku.

Nokia payed €5,7bn for US based Naviteq. Navigation is expanding the horizons of mobile services. Jaiku is a perfect match for Google's next new thing -- the rumored gPhone!

The search engine giant Google acquired the Finnish Jaiku microblogging community yesterday. This purchase opens up a new perspective.

Jaiku combined with the Google’s Orkut social media site, that is popular in South-America and India, can probably save $10bn for Google.

  • Googl
  • Jaiku
  • GPhone
  • Orkut

Google can build an immensely interesting social media mashup with these tools. Jaiku extends Google services to mobile phones. Facebook, however, is still a very Web 2.0 focused Social Media.

The rumours of GooglePhone (gPhone) to hit the market early this year is also a thing that matches well in the mix.

Jaiku's main goal is to bring people closer together by enabling them to share their presence. "For us, presence is about everyday things as they happen - what you're up to, how you're feeling, where you're going." Jaiku says.

“We offer a way to connect with the people you care about by sharing presence updates with them on the Web and mobile.” Is written in the “About Jaiku” presentation.

We're a young company and developing constantly, so check out the Jaikido blog for the latest updates. We appreciate your feedback, so feel free to comment away on the blog.

The tiny company will become an important part in Google’s Social Media launch. Small is beautiful when combined with something as big as Google.

“We're based in Helsinki, the capital of Finland up in the very north of Europe. The address of our office is Pieni Rooberinkatu 7, 00130 Helsinki, Finland.” Jaiku informs.

For those who like to get more information or press, please, find the Jaiku finders at this address.

If you'd like to get in touch with us, please contact the founders Jyri (+358-40-52 28 496) or Petteri (+358-40-77 27 007). We are all reachable by email at firstname at jaiku dot com.

TWITTER AND JAIKU STORMS

What is Jaiku and Twitter? The Swiss blogger "richard" describes what's happening in the microblogging world. There are more than Twitter and Jaiku, but these two have already a lot of users.

What is a twitterstorm? Posted by richard under social networking , twitter. This is a quote of ricahrd's blog:

The twitterstorm is a description of an event where hundreds of 140 character messages are sent at the same time. The most recent example of this occurrence is the one that took place when news of jaiku being swallowed by Google broke. Both twitter and Jaiku are similar. They both give you a 140 characters to express yourself and they can both be taken with you.

When Jaiku was sold to Google the Twitter community has been wondering what’s next for them. That is true, at least for those who are not heavy users of twitter. For the more passive user Jaiku is more appealing because it’s got more bells and whistles. Twitter relies on your ability to express what is on your mind exclusively through text. Tinyurl does make the task a little simpler.

What made the storm so interesting is how over a period of just a few minutes hundreds of SMS could be received should you turn on twitter tracking as I did. I was been bombarded by messages at a tremendous rate. Everyone wanted to be able to say that they twittered the event. They did. Twitter didn’t go down.

Jaiku did though, after all there’s nothing more attractive than a website that’s just become part of the googleverse.It’s fun to see these new media events. That’s right BAMS students. Do media events still occur? Yep, and the twitterstorm around Jaiku is one of them.

Nokia is on the right track

visualradio posted to #DigitalVillages:

visualradio

Nokia http://www.ovi.com is the next big thing. The growth is in Asia. Apple is a US niche market. Big things are Bollywood celebrities and sports.

Cricket, just to mention one. We know nothing about it, but there are lots of followers.



  • visualradio

    The importance of US market is over estimated. We need to learn the new maths (joukko-oppi). The market is the King and the growth is in Asia and Southeast Asia. Nokia is going to present a great result and breaking 40 % market share. The Nokia Siemens Networks might be a big burden, but the Nokia bosses have to take care of it. The long term global strategy of Nokia is right. The market is where the people are. US is marginal. It takes a decade for Apple to get a significant share. iPhoen is a great signal - the future is post-PC - but Nokia is the big winner.

  • visualradio

    @Suviko, She provided me with this link. http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/16/nokia... Technical or marketing advantages have a lifespan of 3 to 6 months. Strategy is still a very important issue. Silicon Valley is a trend setter, but running a global enterprise is not about fashion only.

Google Maps has long been a popular mobile application and the word has spread like wild fire about Google releasing device specific applications, most recently for S60. Like most, I was quick to download and install the application update.

I have been using Nokia Maps primarily for its built-in GPS support. In my testing with Nokia Maps, I have used a Nokia N73, N76, and E65 along with a Nokia LD-3W Bluetooth GPS Module."

Mozilla Plans Firefox Browser For Mobile Devices -- Mobile Web -- InformationWeek

Helge: There's plenty of new activity around Mobile now days. Google buying Jaiku is just on of the things showing that the mobile sphare is changing. Web 2.0 companies are moving towards mobile and Nokia is navigating into Internet with Navteq.


Mozilla Plans Firefox Browser For Mobile Devices -- Mobile Web -- InformationWeek: "Mozilla Plans Firefox Browser For Mobile Devices Mobile Firefox aims to bridge the desktop and mobile browsing experiences by allowing bookmarks, history, extensions, and other Firefox capabilities to work just as well on mobile devices.

By Elena Malykhina InformationWeek lokakuu 10, 2007 04:45 PM

There isn't a perfect mobile browser and there is plenty of room for competition in the space, which is why Mozilla is stepping up its efforts to improve the browsing experience on mobile phones, the company said this week. 'People ask us all the time about what Mozilla's going to do about the mobile Web, and I'm very excited to announce that we plan to rock it.

We are serious about bringing the Firefox experience and technology to mobile devices,' wrote Mike Schroepfer, Mozilla's VP of engineering, in his blog on Tuesday. Mozilla's plans include adding mobile devices to the first class/tier-1 platform set for Mozilla 2, the company's all-in-one open source Internet application suite that comes with a Web browser, e-mail, and newsgroup client. The move will make mobile devices part of Mozilla's core platform, Schroepfer said."

Net tools for SME's - CRM and project management

visualradio SME companies can produce tools for the Internet users. There is still plenty of room for improvement in the field of CRM, project management and integration of information. We've 25 million companies in Europe alone and globally, I don't have a clue, but let's suppose 100 million companies.

Most of them are SME's with need to manage their business better in a networked economy. The Enterprise 2.0 idea is in a very early stage of development. Virtual Organization is a great idea but very few understand, what they are all about.

Here we have business opportunties. Tools to make the entrepreneurial life easier and global operations more manageable. There are very few companies like Nokia. Most are small! How to make the little man / organization more productive.

Tools can be sold like screwdrivers or black and deckers. Microsoft has been selling their tools. The Google model is different, but there is still space for traditional business models. Or am I completely wrong?

The BFF blog about TechCrunch

The BFF: "This week at Yahoo At Techcrunch 40 this week, many commentators are expecting news from Google and Yahoo.

Last week Mashable reported Yahoo opening up (Kind of). Yahoo has an impressive API architecture and an amazing team of programmers, I hope they let rip this week and that they 'feed' all their services.

Steve Rubel has rightly complained about the lack of feeds on Yahoo's websites. To be honest, and I'm talking for myself, I really need those feeds. I will not visit a site because it does not have a feed.

If Yahoo is afraid of losing ad revenue, I'd say find a subtle way of sticking it in feeds. It works if you avoid overkill, otherwise I'll unsubscribe. Yahoo have a great new firefox plugin by the way. It you make websites, you'll probably need it.

It's called YSlow for firebug and how your pages are load performance is. It has loads of really clever tips."

Helge: I guess there are news from Yahoo this week. The destiny of Facebook is still open. It's been quiet about the Microsoft and Yahoo merger. What can we expect from Google?

It's hard to conceive of getting through the day without Google (GOOG )—or, if you're under 40, text messaging or even joining Facebook to stay in touch with your extended network of colleagues. In just a decade or less, technology sure has done a number on the way you work, hasn't it?"

Sprint to Develop Mobile Internet Portal With Google - New York Times

Sprint to Develop Mobile Internet Portal With Google - New York Times: "NEW YORK (Reuters) - Google Inc. has made its biggest move yet on the U.S. mobile Web market by signing a deal with Sprint Nextel Corp. that positions the Internet company to build services to run on Sprint's planned WiMAX high-speed wireless network.

The two companies said on Thursday that Google will provide its Internet search service for a Web portal that Sprint is developing for the new WiMAX network. The gateway to various Web services will be ready in April 2008. The deal is Google's closest alliance with a major U.S. mobile service provider.

While Google is the world's leading provider of Web search and has agreements with large mobile providers in Asia and Europe, analysts say it has lagged Yahoo Inc. in the U.S. wireless market."


Helge: They are all going for the wireless, Google, Yahoo, Apple, Microsoft.

Google vs Everyone: 10 Markets Where Google Wants to Win

Google vs Everyone: 10 Markets Where Google Wants to Win: "Google became the Internet’s biggest company by dominating what has become the Web’s biggest market segment – online search and paid text links. Google claims a dominating 56% market share in search (Nielsen/NetRatings, May 2007) , but that hasn’t stopped dozens (probably hundreds) of companies from trying to grab a piece of the action. Most of the major search engines also come with their own advertising system, while a few startups actually rely on Google to serve up paid text ads."

Helge: The rumours of Google entering mobile phones business have not yet been verified. I haven't written about Google for a long time. This blog is telling that the company has been doing a lot during its short existence.
