		<description>We can judge the popularity of these sites by seeing their ranking in http://www.alexa.com/data/details/main?url=www.fortunehotels.in Alexa. Orkut has been steadily rising on the Alexa charts but MySpace is still significantly bigger than Orkut.com.</description>

		<description>Justin - agree about Yahoo / MS being a major force in search (there will be enough quick-wins / efficiency gains that are immediately impactful and can improve the platform by multiples).

On the Shaq piece - $20mm is a huge. But It is still less than Marion and Banks make combined. 

Banks in the second year of a five-year, $21.3 million contract. Marion gets $17mm/year. 

That doesn&#039;t account for the marketing power of Shaq - between jerseys, promotions, and tv... it&#039;s a major win (Phoenix has already been on ESPN 3 times since the trade!).</description>

		<description>Ryan - Really good, interesting post.  I rarely get to see my two favorite worlds (sports and internet marketing) collide.

Yahoo!&#039;s still the most trafficked site on the Web.  Even though it&#039;s search share is declining, its acquisition would immediately make adCenter - or whatever a merged platform would be called - a major player in search.  If it goes off, it should be a very good deal for Microsoft depending on what they have to pay.  Shaq on the other hand...well, your point about his money coming off the books in 2 years is good.  Just keep in mind that the money is massive.</description>
