After a face to face meeting, Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz and Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer are finally discussing about advertising and also search partnerships, the companies may possibly strike, said several sources with knowledge of the situation. According to other sources, the talks between the Yahoo and Microsoft representatives are preliminary and wide ranging, focused just on what kind of commercial relationship Yahoo and Microsoft could have in the near future. But, informed sources close to Yahoo, said that the discussions are not about a renewed acquisition attempt by Microsoft and also might not result in any kind of deal. Yahoo and Microsoft representatives refused to comment about the meeting and of any agreement that they could make in the near future.
Such a partnership, which plays to each company’s strengths, would bring the two closely together, even though they still compete on many other fronts on the internet.
