What would Sunday afternoon/evening be lately without more intrigue in the MicroHoo drama? Today was no exception as Redmond issued a cryptic statement that says it’s offering to join forces with or acquire some of Yahoo — potentially the search business — in a deal short of the total acquisition previously contemplated.
In the past week, we covered Mother’s Day logos, Yahoo redirecting users to localized versions of their home page and Yahoo showing the location of an ad to searchers. Google is testing a green user interface on the search results and directory. SEOs are in deep fear of link penalties by competitors. Finally, Yahoo dropped the ambassador program.

I love Google’s special holiday logos, which typically honor unique individuals or special holidays. Today Google has a special logo recognizing the birthday of Bauhaus (”house of building”) founder Walter Gropius.
But it’s a weird tribute: In some respects, the logo can be seen as a rendition of the Googleplex headquarters in Mountain View. If you’ve been there, you’ll recognize the unique “V” that in real-life sports Google’s own logo. But in this rendition, the bottom stave of the “G” looks like it has been swept away and is lying feet-up in a broken heap at the bottom of the logo:
Most of Google’s holiday “doodle” logos have been created by Dennis Hwang, who many regard as Google’s more or or less “official” webmaster. Want to know more about Hwang? Check out his Wikipedia entry, or this more interesting CNN profile of Google’s official doodler.
