Plucking the log from your neighbour's eye....

Nick Carr points to Google's view of the Microsoft/Yahoo transfer:

He makes it clear that Google will seek to block any deal on antitrust grounds, arguing that:

"Microsoft plus Yahoo! equals an overwhelming share of instant messaging and web email accounts. And between them, the two companies operate the two most heavily trafficked portals on the Internet. Could a combination of the two take advantage of a PC software monopoly to unfairly limit the ability of consumers to freely access competitors' email, IM, and web-based services? Policymakers around the world need to ask these questions - and consumers deserve satisfying answers"

.

Ummm....lets just look at those market dominance numbers again - last time I looked at search and online advertising, Google pretty much owned the industry!

Ah, let the spin begin......by the way, Zoli Erdos* has some good similies for the (proposed) merger
