Remember folks on Monday when MS shares and Yahoo shares slide some more, it only took $20 Million to beat Yahoo. There is no way that both the market and shareholders will buy that over valuation of Yahoo of $31 Billion or $40 billion. translation Yahoo Software Engineering effectiveness is over valued, I am referring here to both software engineering effectiveness and business results effectiveness as oen combined measure not separate
Thus, I was wrong it is not a direct play to buy thousands of programmers by Microsoft. If 500 Million users worth $40 billion? Seems a Chinese Search Company would be a better buy if that is the case as you could get more users per billion of dollars spent.
But, here is the real Gem. It only took $20 million to beat Yahoo at its highest point. it also measn it will only take $20 million to unseat Google. its just finding that extremely effective software team that is for sale at $20 million. The reason for Google's acquisition spree can be said to be spending $20 Million per company to find the next innovative market beyond search t0o grow rather than to be unseated.
At this time, Google has earned Trillions of Dollars for a small holding of domain names with effective software engineering in creating a platform combined with applications and services for free with advertising business model. The throwing up pages of advertising in multiple domains by domain speculators never works because the user base is not a growing user base to produce revenue required.
The sorry truth is that most domain speculators make their money by churning domain names to other domain name speculators at low prices. If you build a platform and a business model to go with that platform than you reach the billions and trillions of dollars realm.
Is the next platform applied cloud computing? The answer is yes. In fact, I may be ahem working for a start-up in this field at this very moment. What gives enormous returns on $20 million with hundreds or thousands of domain names is building a cloud computing platform along with a integrated business model.
