Is a merger between the tech titans a match made in heaven or a marriage made in that other place?

According to reports by The New York Post and The Wall Street Journal, Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) is pursuing a deal to buy Yahoo (NASDAQ:YHOO). So what would a deal mean for Microsoft? What would it mean for Yahoo? And what would it mean for Google (NASDAQ:GOOG)? The Motley Fool's Mac Greer asks senior analyst Seth Jayson.

Check out Seth's Take on Microsoft.

Yahoo! is a Motley Fool Stock Advisor newsletter selection. Microsoft is an Inside Value recommendation.

Mac Greer doesn't own any of the stocks discussed but thinks mergers and acquisitions are fun because you never really know what might happen. Seth Jayson owns shares of Microsoft. The Fool has a disclosure policy.
