Is Yahoo! worth $50b to Microsoft??

Of course.

And its nothing to do with Yahoo! search, the millions of Yahoo! members or their unrivalled web pedigree.

Some people may forget that Yahoo! own 2 of the most popular web movements in recent years, Flickr and del.icio.us

These, along with a few other choice assets (Kelkoo, Konfabulator, See Wikipedia for more) surely make Yahoo! a $50b bargain!
