Will a Yahoo white knight emerge? Financial blogger Henry Blodget thinks it is possible. Now that Microsoft's bid has put Yahoo into play, there's speculation that Yahoo will try to escape Microsoft's clutches by turning to a private equity firm. Observers recently have doubted that any public company would be able to justify buying Yahoo. Apparently the growing size of private equity deals now makes even a private buyout conceivable. Look for more Yahoo layoffs if that happens.
Yahoo still gets lots of traffic, but is not growing revenue as fast as Google, as this data from 2007 illustrates.
