"-The new service, named YaGoohoo!gle, will give great synergies in search results and customer value," says an unnamed representative from one of the companies.
It has yet to be decided where the new company's headquarters will reside."

Search for "Linux", and compare the results. A few months ago, MSN Search listed some completely lame, irrelevant entries when you searched for "Linux". Yahoo & Google showed very relative sites.

Exxon and Mobil merged. HP and Compaq merged. This really would not surprise me.

Thanks, that's nice to hear. [*1] But actually 360 [yahoo.com] started its invite-only Beta on Tuesday (3/29). It was open to Y! employees for a few days before that, so we'd be ready to seed it by sending invites to friends&family as soon as it went public. My girlfriend, for example, was on at midnight [*2], and by the time we went to bed at 12:40, she had her profile mostly built, and had invited ~30 of her friends, and 3 had already accepted and joined.

The site's actually kind of neat, though. I just hope Asgeir Nilsen (the registrant, courtesy of WHOIS) doesn't get any cease-and-desist orders.
