Should I just stop at this picture of Ray Ozzie? This is why MSFT buying the big purple Y! makes sense. You can argue that there are some cool parts of Microsoft. I’ll grant that there are whole areas of the company that I like and think are doing better than people give them credit for. You might even be a fan of MSFT.
But the thing is this: Ray is super cool. His stuff with Groove Networks (which got watered into being Office Groove- and no, I don’t know what I’m talking about because I haven’t used the MSFT version) is killer collaboration stuff. Ray’s mind is set up for this kind of thinking. He’s one of us. He’s participatory.
And to that end, I think that with Microsoft picking up Yahoo, there might be some interesting collaboration points.
Who’s going to argue about what Yahoo has going for it? I think you could say Groups (which I think are some of the best 1.0 technology out there), and you could say that Finance is pretty good. What else? (No! You may NOT count upcoming, del.icio.us, Flickr, and more).
So yeah.
