Yahoo + Wall Street Journal/Fox Business Channel + MySpace + Newscorp : Neat.
TC et TimesOnline are chinese whispering that News' may creep into Yahoo thru flipping their MySpace + IGN assets for 25% of the combined entity. From there you could obviously creep closer and closer to control (not sure how big largest shareholder is in Yahoo and how distributed it is) MySpace for $12B. Yahoo + Wall Street Journal + MySpace + Newscorp : Neat. Just as Google buys a web powerpointlike company which will make YCombinator happy. Web 2.0 Big Bux, business as usual.
Update : Evan Williams (Blogger, Odeo, Twitter) must be a great cards player, figuring in another google stock swap, this time for the Zenter.com url (the presentation tool google just bought) : From his blog - "They were debating their name at the time and asked me what I thought. I don't remember what the candidates were, but I had purchased zenter.com a while back when I saw it up for sale, because I thought it would make a good name for a web-based presentation thing. (Something I'd toyed with doing since early Pyra days when Jerry registered pyrapoint.com.)
Since I knew we weren't likely to get around to that project, I offered it to them. They liked it, and we ended up doing a deal for stock. And now Google's made that stock pay off before they even got around to launching. Good deal for me. Better deal for them."
TimesOnline : "News Corporation has discussed swapping MySpace, its internet social networking unit, with Yahoo! in return for a 25 per cent stake in the enlarged group. Other News Corp digital assets, including the games network IGN, bought in 2005 for $650 million (£326 million), are also thought to have been offered to Yahoo!. A deal would demonstrate a remarkably swift return on News Corp’s investment in MySpace, which it acquired for $580 million in summer 2005. Yesterday Yahoo! was worth $37 billion. A quarter stake in an enlarged company would be worth $12.3 billion."
