It's all heating up now, this Microsoft Yahoo! fiasco is constantly catching the attention of new friends and foes. Earlier this week Microsoft threatened Yahoo!, Yahoo! responds in an open letter, today we heard that Google and Yahoo! are making a 2 week advertisement deal, then just moments after that a Yahoo! AOL merger rumor hit the web. So, what the heck is going on now you ask? In the mids of the battle to save Yahoo! from the evil clutches of Microsoft, Google CEO has sought the help from one Frank P. Quattrone who has been cleared from obstruction of justice charges last year. Sources close to the matter said, Google has formally hired Mr. Quattrone’s new firm, the Qatalyst Group, people close to the company said. He has already been involved in a series of meetings and conference calls, these people said. We are definitely heading for a showdown between Google and Microsoft very soon if this keeps up at the pace it is going. With Microsoft talking with News Corp on a joint venture to take over Yahoo!, we can only expect an all out war.[Source: NY Times, DealBook]
