Microsoft Google Yahoo irony

In SD Times’ coverage of the latest in the Microsoft-Yahoo attempted takeover, David Worthington filed a story today about how Microsoft has withdrawn its $33/share offer.

To help illustrate the story, “Microsoft walks away from Yahoo buyout,” our Web team embedded some financial graphs onto the page. Interestingly, the easiest ones to embed came from a Google Gadget.

But what happens when you click on that Google Gadget? It takes you to Yahoo Finance!

It’s really all just one interconnected Web.
