Microsoft offers to buy Yahoo! for 44.6 billion dollars

First TechCrunch post about it.

First Mashable post about it.

Of course the entire blogosphere and (netosphere:-) is buzzing about it.

Apart from the predictable positive and negative reactions, the anti-trust and suchlike regulators in the U.S. and Europe are going to examine this potential deal closely, according to at least one report.

This one should be really interesting, as it has the potential to affect almost all of us Net users for better or worse, depending on how things turn out. That is, if the deal does go through at all, of course - it's not a given that it will.

So if I come across any interesting news about this event, I'll post about it here.

Anyway, for a start, here is Sramana Mitra's first post on this news".
