West Michigan should identify itself to world as Chicagoland, Econ Club speaker says

This article has some well-thought-out points about how it’s time for the Midwest to cut ties to the “Rust Belt” past and start working for the future. Well, except for the whole “West Michigan identifying as Greater Chicagoland” thing. That’s ridiculous.

Microsoft-Yahoo: What Will Stay And What Will Go?

Microsoft Bids $44.6 Billion for Yahoo

Wow. I think we saw it coming, but it still seems unbelievable now that it’s here. At a 62 percent premium over their stick price, and with the trouble Yahoo has been in of late, I can’t imagine that they’ll turn it down.

This would also mean that del.icio.us and Flickr will become Microsoft properties. I thought about exporting my links when Yahoo acquired del.icio.us, but now might be the time (using a .NET Passport Windows Live ID just feels icky).
