Microsoft wants Yahoo's search business and minority stake - source

Microsoft has proposed to buy Yahoo's search business and take a minority stake in the web pioneer, stopping short of a full-out merger, a person familiar with the discussions said yesterday.

As part of the deal, Yahoo would sell its Asian assets including significant minority stakes in Yahoo Japan and China's Alibaba Group, while Microsoft would buy a chunk of what remains of the company, the source said.

The talks were revealed by the two companies on Sunday, but they declined to reveal the terms of the discussions. Earlier this month, Microsoft walked away from a proposal to acquire Yahoo for US$47.5 billion ($61.4 billion), or US$33 per share, after Yahoo rebuffed the offer, saying it would only settle for US$37 a share.

The new deal, if completed, would forge an alliance between the two companies that would represent an alternative means of competing with rival Google, whose ubiquitous search engine has made it an online advertising powerhouse. more

"It's not designed to provide financial support for bricks and mortar projects, but we provide marketing support through grants and through the way we promote destinations, meetings and special events," Trumble said. "We're 110 percent behind them in marketing as they go forward."

Local tourism and industrial development officials investigated public grants and other forms of financial assistance for the project in the weeks and months before EAA unveiled the proposal and requested a $1.94 million tax incremental financing, or TIF, district from the city of Oshkosh. more

Office Space Oasis: The Village Bellevue

This is a new, private club for entrepreneurs who want to meet, connect and grow their business. I've had the opportunity to experience The Village first-hand several times now for various workshops (Nancy Juetten's incredible Publici-Tea training) and meetings (Elaine Long's powerful presentation coaching). Every time I walk through the door, I feel like I've stepped into a productivity oasis; I'm inspired, focused and ready to do business.

The d�cor is modern but classic, with comfortable HermanMiller furnishings, a calm, professional ambiance and concierge-level service. Members of this private club get all the perks of a fully-supported, downtown office � when and how it works for them � at a very competitive rate. Free parking is included.

Mark Bridgwater, founder and president of The Village, cooked up the idea for this elegant new work space in downtown Bellevue. more

Building a Business Around Licensed Technology

PressPass recently spoke with Butch Langlois, CEO of PlanetEye, and Bob Tenczar, director of marketing for Microsoft�s Intellectual Property Licensing division, to learn more about how an idea goes from the lab to commercialization.

PressPass: Can you give a brief overview of PlanetEye.com?
Langlois: Making travel plans usually requires visiting scattered Web sites to get various bits of information that then need to be pieced together. PlanetEye pulls all of this information about attractions, hotels, restaurants and the like onto one site, and then it enhances this content by making use of the latest Web technologies, including mapping, geotagging, user-generated content and personalization. We gathered content from a wide variety of external sources, from The New York Times to travel bloggers. more
