Dear Google

Dear Google,
I think I have some good idea for you. So I’ve set up a new column on this blog so that I may suggest a few to you.
The first is that you should take a few weeks off. I’m sure that you don’t believe that Microsoft buying Yahoo! is a good thing for anyone. Unfortunately, the main drive behind Microsoft’s bid is competition from you, Google. Microsoft’s bid is also lower than Yahoo! would like, presumably because Yahoo! is struggling with a smaller market share, especially when compared to you, Google.
My suggestion is for Google to take a couple of weeks off. This would make Yahoo!’s stock soar out of the reaches of Microsoft, putting an end to the bid that would do no one any good. Now I’m sure that you probably don’t want to take a couple of weeks off, but you might be able to find other solutions, to help the situation, like placing Yahoo! advertising on your search results rather than your own. Whatever you can do to help Yahoo! look strong over the next month or so, might just be enough to discourage any takeover bid by the evil empire, Microsoft.
So until I write another Dear Google letter, I wish you the best of days.
