Apparently the four biggest internet companies are at it again, everyone would love to be google, of course google would love to acquire everyone else.

Microsoft wants yahoo to be their love child, but Yahoo is like, I dunno Aol is kinda cute, and I might be crushin’ on google too.. I think we could make cute babies.

Here’s a short overview from Mashable:

Here’s a very short recap of the internet love rectangle story so far. Microsoft bids for Yahoo; Yahoo wants more money; Google doesn’t want the deal to happen; Microsoft reiterates their bid; Yahoo still wants more money; Yahoo considers closing an advertising deal with Google; AOL and Yahoo consider merging.

While the community at large is thinking what does Yahoo see in Aol, and for that matter why does Microsoft want Yahoo? It’s all one big convoluted love triangle.

The winner though in this menage tois, in my opinion is probably Google, they’re not in “love” with anyone, and stand less likely a chance of getting their heart broken.

The problem one blogger noted was that everyone wants to be google, but they are trying to do it using big business practices, when Google is google, because they are different, they do things differently and that’s how they came to be where they are. Until the old business mindset is lifted, none of the other internet giants will be able to rise to the level of Google. Plain and Simple.
