Acquisitions

Yahoo is a company settled in US,California.In 1995 two guys, David Filo and Jerry Yang thougth lets bring some money to the house and they established a company called Yahoo! ,which stands for "Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle". The success of the new internet portal was huge,developing very quickly and rising high.In 1996 they went with 46 employees to the business,in 2005,7600 people work for them.That went pretty fast. Nowadays is Yahoo one of the most used search enginees in the world. I remember when I was a little girl and first discovered it.That was an amazing experience and gave me a whole new dimension of using internet.You could`ve find everything in there.Thousands of sites,thousands of articles,thousands things to do. And this funny red letters with small images adjusted to the occasion,like on Christmas,Haloween or Soccer EM. But the competition never sleeps..and the competition would be Google in this case.The current leader in a fight for the first place on the market. Well,fairytale gone bad guys.The million-dollar question:What happens if someone gets in trouble?Correct!Microsoft is always ready to help. Bill Gates always had this thing for helping people.Sending money for poor kids in Africa,attending charity events,setting up foundations to help the environment,the people and everyone who is needy.Another thing he does is buying things.. and companies.Cause together we`re stronger.Everything in order to save the world. We come in touch with Microsoft everyday..Internet Explorer,Microsoft Word,Excel,Windows Vista,Hotmail..its everywhere..those guys really know how it works.But do you really want that one day Yahoo will be called Mahoo??
