I was hoping that the Internet police would not settle on a name for the new non-entity so quickly. And why did everyone decide that Mirohoo would be the best alternative?

I want to put forth a few alternatives for consideration:

MicroWho same name but different context

MShoo - prononunced MZ hoo

YaSoft - self explanatory

YaMS - can be either yams or YA MZ

Better yet why not spin it off and try something completely different

Surreal

Hoocares

whynot

Little Googol - yes this spelling not to be confused with a real company

Decillion - a number large like Googol but not as big - I am warming to this one.

Lastly did anyone notice that in the earnings announcement last week with Google that they still have over $14 B in cash like items on hand - in other words they could buy this mess if they wanted to but that would be a real mistake.

So the question remains - does Yahoo go with MS or have Google run their search. Answer will be interesting - Either way Google wins - why is their share price going down. They win if Yahoo has them run things and
I believe the win if it actually could get through regulatory approval and the two entities attempt to consolidate things - I see mess written all over that strategy unless someone can show me instances that either Yahoo or MS has done a good job of incorporating another large competing entity into their fold. Can you say AOL and Time Warner - aw come on they were different entities - not what they said when announced - remember there were synergies - where are they???

Let me know if you have other entries for better names than Microhoo.
