Same here. I hope it works out for them because I don't see too many other options that would generate positive value for a company. Google could probably implement it on their own (not to trivialize the work, but to point out that Gmail basically has all the information and fast search, they just need to mine the contact network). The typical Yahoo user probably wouldn't care for it. That said, it would be an ironic purchase for MS, because from my standpoint they already bought and burried the search tech with LookOut to push their Desktop search client. But that's for MS to justify, not Xobni.
