The Microsoft offer to Yahoo!

Hm. I talked to a Yahoo! Tools engineer at a dinner party last week about the rumored upcoming Yahoo! layoff announcement. He seemed to not know what was coming up. When the announcement was made this week that it would be through attrition, I was surprised that it was so weak. Now we see why.

This is a big deal. The fact that Yahoo! isn't refusing it outright makes me think this will likely go through.

Good grief, now I'll have to close all my Yahoo! accounts. I'm really gonna miss Flickr. Maybe it'll get spun off. I doubt it.
