By now, if you have electronic connectivity of any sort, you know that Yahoo! has formally rejected Micosoft’s unsolicited bid of almost $45 billion (presented on our blog several post ago).

The first quarter of 2008 is extremely busy for our EngineWorks team. In addition to delivering top-tier search marketing results for our world-class clients, we are attending several very important industry events this quarter.

Our EngineWorks representatives look forward to meeting with you in person at the following events. If you would like to schedule a get-together with our SEM professionals at one of these shows, please leave us a message at the end of this post.
In our last blog post, we alerted you to Microsoft’s unsolicited bid to buy Yahoo! for almost $45 billion.

You don’t become the Homo-sapien with the greatest individual net worth on this spinning orb by acquiring overpriced assets. Today’ announcement that Uncle Bill is making an unsolicited bid for Yahoo! is yet another excellent example of this fact.
