The ongoing Yahoo! Inc. (NASDAQ: YHOO) merger saga with Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) or its potential sidebar deal with Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) and the fight with Carl Icahn has been covered about every which way that could be imagined. But what we wanted to look into was how this actually compares to what various valuation scenarios could look like after the company reports earnings and more importantly after its most widely awaited annual meeting in history since the year it came public. The next best thing to owning a crystal ball that would tell you the future is to run... ... Source: www.streetinsider.com --- 5 days ago

Why did Yahoo ( NSDQ: YHOO ) agree to give Icahn three seats on its board, when by all accounts it was cruising to a victory on August 1? Perhaps the company was a little worried about losing the vote, an outcome it hoped to avoid at all costs. But even if it had won, consider: Where would Yahoo be with Icahn and Microsoft out of the picture and a likely ho-hum earnings report due out tomorrow (we'll preview that later)? Hello sub-$20s again. By making this move, Yahoo tells shareholders: we didn't want to get decapitated, but we know you're frustrated with the status quo. Now representing shareholders: a fierce activist (Icahn), a highly respected internet executive (Jonathan Miller, probably ) and someone else from Icahn's list that Yahoo gets to choose (probably not Mark Cuban, though that would be funny). As for Icahn, what's he get out of it? He made his name battling industry giants like RJR Nabisco and Texaco. In recent years, his dalliances with tech and media names have been kind of mixed: Time Warner ( NYSE: TWX ) (nothing), Motorola ( NYSE: MOT ) (board representation and a split, maybe ), BEA Systems (sold off to Oracle), Blockbuster ( NYSE: BBI ) (Icahn was a big proponent of the Circuit City deal, which ultimately fell through). Of these, Motorola is probably the closest analogue. Obviously, he'd have liked this to be over a lot sooner. If he'd had his way it would've ended like Oracle and BEA, and Yahoo and Microso ...

Who said anything about VCs no longer funding Facebook apps? LivingSocial , a developer of apps that help friends share recommendations for stuff like beer and books, has raised a $5 million first round led by Grotech Ventures, along with personal investments from Steve and Jean Case. The Washington, DC-based company distributes such apps as ReadingSocial, BrewSocial and TuneSocial, each of which seems fairly self explanatory. Since launching in February, the company has booked over 6 million users, though that doesn't necessarily mean they're active day-to-day. I chatted with CEO Tim O'Shaughnessy (formerly of both AOL ( NYSE: TWX ) and RevolutionHealth—hence the investment from Case) on his take of the whole space. He noted that the entire area has gotten a lot tougher for the obvious reasons: tons of new entrants, along with Facebook clamping down on certain "black hat" methods for attaining virality. LivingSocial isn't just on Facebook, but so far, it's still where the action is: "I think Facebook is very, very strong… It's significantly higher (the activity) than the other networks that are out there." Basically, Facebook is still used as a social utility, while the others (MySpace, Bebo, et. al) are still about content display. One interesting aspect of the company's business model is that while most of these app networks are all ad-based, LivingSocial (because it's oriented around products) has referral partnerships, such a ...

Ockham Research submits: The highly anticipated release of the latest installment of the Batman movie series has not disappointed as “Dark Knight” rode huge momentum into the biggest opening weekend in history. The movie—made by Warner Brothers, a division of Time Warner (TWX)—raked in an estimated $155.3 million, beating the old box office revenue record held by “SpiderMan 3”. The buzz surrounding the movie’s release was palpable, partially due to the untimely death of Heath Ledger, whose portrayal of the Joker has been critically acclaimed and may earn him a posthumous Oscar nomination. Having seen the movie, I am among those that believe that the movie was worthy of the hype. It will be interesting to observe whether or not the glowing reviews of critics and average movie goers will be enough to sustain the hugely successful box office results of this weekend.

Big-four communications group Publicis says it's on track to reach its 2010 target of pulling a quarter of revenue from digital, after seeing it comprise 18.8 percent of business in the first half of the year (up from 12.7 percent last year). But online performance is not there yet, and that may be down to roll-out costs. " (Digital) profitability is improving, but is still below the group's average ... the average (online) margin is lower despite the fact that it is constantly improving." Publicis has been going on an acquisition binge over the last year to bolster its acquisition of Digitas, which it is making its prime online arm. But in the quarter, Publicis also created VivaKi , an umbrella for Digitas and its Starcom MediaVest, Denuo and ZenithOptimedia units that lets clients more easily sell ads in to Google ( NSDQ: GOOG ), Yahoo ( NSDQ: YHOO ), Microsoft ( NSDQ: MSFT ), Platform-A ( NYSE: TWX ) and more. Quarterly organic revenue grew 5.5 percent to €1.16 billion ($2.5 billion) despite a "somewhat depressed world economy, and against a backdrop of financial unease". The outlook for next half: "We will see a small slowdown which may be compensated in some areas of the business," CEO Maurice Levy told FT.com .

As managing editor of TMZ.com, Harvey Levin can be a celeb's best friend or worst nightmare—not that he's trying to be either. That's coming through loud and clear in our second keynote Q&A of the afternoon here at EconCeleb. Interviewer Charlie Koones , former president and publisher of Variety and former board member of our parent company ContentNext Media, put it bluntly from the start when he asked: "It seems like you one day said, 'Screw it. I'm not playing that game. Is that an accurate portrayal?" Levin was just as blunt: "Yes." He explained the thinking behind the WB-AOL ( NYSE: TWX ) joint venture that borrows some of its psychology from his previous show Celebrity Justice : "If a publicist was pissed at a celebrity show, they could get the story pulled by saying you're never going to get on again if you run this story. ... (I decided) we can do an honest show and not be beholden to anybody. We're going to be really honest and tell real stories. ... It's not as if we don't work with publicists. We do. We tell them 'work with us once and if we screw with you never work with us again . Try us once and if we're fair with you, try us again." Put another way: "We don't want to be a red carpet." -- The agencies : Rafat told Levin and attendees during Q&A that we're missing the big agencies from today's lineup because they said they didn't want to appear with TMZ. That doesn't stop them from cooperating with TMZ, though, at leas ...
