I was ge... liquidity means monetization, wha?
I didn't really care. It's a better idea than Microsoft buying Yahoo
(from Microsoft's point of view.)

One day is too soon for the wisdom of the crowd to truly kick in (and I
am dubious about the concept any way.)

It looks to me as the initial reaction is that it wasn't a good deal for
Yahoo. 10 years seemed like a long time to me. I see Microsoft may
take back ad sales after five years. Now I'm just a simple country talk
backer, but that looks to me as though Yahoo's upside (ad sales) is
guaranteed for 5 years while its downside (I presume they pay to use
Bing) is guaranteed for ten years.

But, boy oh boy, the deal better work out for Yahoo, otherwise
"Nobody gets it" joins our long list of favorite Ballmerisms.
