Hm…This Yahoo stuff reminds me of something…

Ah yes.

It reminds me of a game of Diplomacy.

Right down to the taking over of people (Microsoft-Yahoo). Teaming up (Yahoo-Google, Yahoo-AOL, Yahoo-FIM, Microsoft-FIM). Even the amateur tactics (see Balmer and Yang letters). Only thing left is the backstabbing.

P.S. In case you are wondering which is Yahoo, that would be Austria. They are position right in the middle of everything, and can’t possibly win. The only thing they can do is try to team up with their neighbors before they are completely conquered by someone.
