The internet has been buzzing with speculation ever since Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) put forth its offer to buy out Yahoo (NASDAQ:YHOO), which Yahoo interpreted as a hostile take over attempt. Last week however, Microsoft withdrew it's offer which has become quite possibly the biggest story on the network over the last couple of weeks.

According to TheBizofCoding, Yahoo is in a precarious position as a result of their refusal to deal with Microsoft especially considering the fact that Yahoo!'s stock rose as a result of the negotiations, but fell dramatically when the talks were called off. Author Ujwal Tickoo goes on to say that the beneficiary of the failed negotiation is Google (NASDAQ:GOOG).

BestBizWare was unsurprised by the nosedive of Yahoo stocks after Microsoft abandoned talks, noting that it's obvious Yahoo! is more interested in "being single." MarketingBlurb raised several salient questions but also acknowledge that it's hard to tell what direction the Microhoo drama will take next. According to TheAlphaMarketer, Yahoo stockholders are not too happy with CEO Jerry Yang for his handling of the Microsoft offer.
