Here we go again; Microsoft mulling another Yahoo! deal

Yahoo for sale
The Wall Street Journal reported today that Microsoft is now seeking big-name partners such as NewsCorp or Time Warner to take another run at Yahoo! This time, however, it seems Microsoft is only interested in Yahoo!‘s search business, with the partner in the deal likely absorbing the rest of the company.

This comes about five months after Microsoft sent Yahoo! an unsolicited bid to buy the entire company. Yahoo! rejected the deal, feeling Microsoft was not willing to pay a high enough price for the company that runs the Internet’s most visited website, according to Alexa.

This news comes on the heels of the reports that Yahoo’s new search advertising deal with Google is under the scrutiny of the United States Department of Justice because of concerns that it is anti-competitive.
