First, a tip of the hat to Jerry Yang for declining Microsoft's advances, at least initially. I don't know for sure, but I have to assume it was a huge boost of confidence to a once proud internet property (and an internet property that still has a ton of loyal users) and its employees. Of course, that's just my perception, and clearly... this didn't work for everyone.
There was, naturally a few rumors of a yAOLhoo type creation coming out of it, and now there's talk of a YaSpace. I tend to agree with Henry Blodget, this one really shouldn't have any legs. MySpace and Yahoo are both victims of declining traffic and hype, having lost their diminence to other players (namely: Google and Facebook)
So... where does that leave Yahoo now?
Quite frankly... it now looks like Paul La Monica was wrong when discussion the Wall Street Journal takeover. Microhoo might have replaced that takeover as the lamest bidding war ever.
