WebProNews, Is It Really The Only News There Is?Writing by Nick Stamoulis on Sunday, 3 of February , 2008 at 8:34 am
Warning: This is not an SEOd blog post. It IS a WTF?
Admittedly, when news first broke of Microsoft’s offer to buy Yahoo!, it was interesting news. I wrote a blog post about it. I ate it up. I giggled. I snorted. I jumped for joy. I spat on the ground and clinched my fist. I raged. I ranted. I smiled. I chanted. And now I’m feeling like Dr Seuss. But I gather you get the point.
Now, here is it, days later and WebProNews is still writing stories about it. Damn near every story, it seems. Just look at the silly headlines:
Assessing The Microsoft/Yahoo AftershockThe Microsoft-Yahoo Deal And PhotosWhat Makes A Yahoo Acquisition Interesting For MicrosoftWhat Is Microsoft Really Acquiring With Yahoo?Microsoft’s Earnings, Enough To Buy YahooMicrosoft And Yahoo - An Upside Of Cultural InjectionMicrosoft, Show Me The MoneyYahoo - Semel = Microsoft Takeover?Microsoft Offers To Yahoo Rebuffed BeforeMicrosoft Not Down On Poor Yahoo PerformanceExpect Yahoo Shares To Rise On Microsoft DealMicrosoft Tells Yahoo About R&D SynergiesMarket Aspects Of Microsoft-Yahoo FurorLive: Microsoft Wants YahooMicrosoft Conference Call On Yahoo Deal
All of these are stories that were published at WebProNews just in the last two days - in case you missed it, that’s AFTER the initial news broke of the Microsoft’s offer. You’d think, by these headlines, that there was nothing else to write about. Yes, I know, it’s exciting news (for someone), but whether the deal goes through or not, most of us are going to keep doing what we’ve been doing. Our businesses won’t change, our strategies might change a little, our attitudes about search will still be the same, and in the grand scheme of things the acquisition won’t really affect us all that much - most of us. So what’s the big deal?
News is news. I get it. But let’s move on to something else already. Doesn’t WebProNews have another dead horse to beat?
