Yahoo! Inc. (YHOO) and its future have many people talking. They have stated they are experiencing a slowdown in advertising, and some analysts have even cut their ratings on its stock.
With Google Inc.'s (GOOG) recent purchase some say that Yahoo might be falling behind its online rivals. Talk of a takeover could have started with Yahoo's chief executive Terry Semel's statement that the company had played around with the idea of selling a part of its search business to Microsoft Corp. (MSFT). They quickly decided against it.
It has been suggested that Yahoo needs to be more like Google in acquiring other companies instead of trying to grow organically. The company has been courting Facebook, a privately held social-networking Web site. Talks seemed to have stalled.
