Just picked it up from the blogsphere. Not confirmed yet, but you'll see it on the wires in a few hours: Microsoft is going to buy both Google and Yahoo.

Can Billy Boy pull that one off?

Yes

Written on 04/01/05 at 10:05:04 GMT by J Fischer

Yes, he can. Why not ?

Hmm

Written on 04/01/05 at 10:06:54 GMT by ppp

It is a lot of money, Norbert did not quote correctly: "... Google.com And Yahoo.com For 170 Billion"

small billion

Written on 04/01/05 at 10:07:26 GMT by J Fischer

I think this are only small billion.

small billions?

Written on 04/01/05 at 10:08:02 GMT by ppp

What do you mean?

American

Written on 04/01/05 at 10:08:36 GMT by J Fischer

billions

Hmm

Written on 04/01/05 at 10:08:58 GMT by ppp

How much is that?

In the US

Written on 04/01/05 at 10:09:54 GMT by J Fischer

In the US one billion is only one thousand millions

170 billions

Written on 04/01/05 at 10:10:37 GMT by ppp

170 billions that is then 170 000 000 000. Right? A lot of money.

alexa:

Written on 04/01/05 at 10:17:14 GMT by J Fischer

http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?q=&url=google.com
says reach is 200 000
and yahoo.com 300 000

So:

Written on 04/01/05 at 10:33:20 GMT by ppp

US $ 170 000 000 000
divided by 500 000
gives 340 000 US $

dimension ?

Written on 04/01/05 at 10:33:56 GMT by J Fischer

What is the dimension of that figure ?

dimension

Written on 04/01/05 at 10:34:58 GMT by ppp

340 000 US $ per day per person per million?

Wow

Written on 04/01/05 at 10:36:15 GMT by J Fischer

that would be a lot of money. Somethings wrong.

I knew it

Happy April Fools Day Everybody.

"1.07 billion internet users globally by 2005, ..." eTForecasts Sept 2004
this is 1 070 millions?

Ah,

Written on 04/01/05 at 10:54:40 GMT by J Fischer

I see so he might reach 535 millions per day?

that's a bargain then

Written on 04/01/05 at 10:56:34 GMT by ppp

he'll do that.

reach ?

Written on 04/01/05 at 13:35:39 GMT by mbu

Something is not right here,
I checked the reach for Google
.co.uk 20 000
.de 12 000
.fr 10 000
.es 12 000
...
I could go on like this
Same with yahoo.
This may end up higher than possible.

true

Written on 04/01/05 at 13:37:38 GMT by jim

One cannot add Alexa traffic reach like that.
Otherwise if you have 12 sites with a reach of
100 000 out of 1 000 000 each - you would reach
1 200 000 of every 1 000 000.

You have to check the probabilities.

Written on 04/01/05 at 13:41:30 GMT by ppp

Can you do that?
This is very confusing.

something like that

Written on 04/01/05 at 13:43:12 GMT by jim

Like that:
p(google) = 0.2
p(yahoo) = 0.3
~p(google) = 0.8
~p(yahoo) = 0.7
~p(yahoo)*~p(google) = 0.56
p(yahoo+google) = 0.44
1 070 000 000 Internet users * p(yahoo+google) ~
470 000 000 visitors reached per day

URL?

Written on 04/01/05 at 13:44:26 GMT by mbu

I just checked the news - nothing there yet.
Where does that come from?

Written on 04/01/05 at 13:45:28 GMT by ppp

What does that mean in money?

I try to look at smaller numbers

Written on 04/01/05 at 13:48:36 GMT by jim

170 000 000 000 US$, at 6% per year is
10 200 000 000 US$ per year or approx
280 000 000 US$ per day.
If I divide that by the 470 000 000 visitors reached per day
I need some 60 US cents per visitor per day.

bargain

Written on 04/01/05 at 14:20:33 GMT by mbu

Not exactly a bargain, but that's what
you need to cover capital costs at 6 %.

maybe it is less

Written on 04/01/05 at 14:23:02 GMT by jim

Of course if you have that amount of money
and want to use it for the good dead you
may manage to get at least 50 % back from
taxes. Brings us down to 30 cents, and
the dollar isn't the dollar any more...

Since the news feature reprogramming a couple days ago, comments count seems mixed up. Also posting from the blog bookmarklet doesn't update the news front page file. Will fix.

Written on 04/01/05 at 19:04:06 GMT by Jos

The front page comments count should update now with this post. Before this it said 18 when there were actually 34.
