All eyes on Yahoo for alternate deal to Microsoft

Yahoo faced growing pressure on Sunday to find an alternative strategy to a $47.5 billion takeover offer from Microsoft after the software maker walked away over a major disagreement on price. Yahoo was likely to push for an advertising partnership with Web search leader Google that should help boost its operating performance in the near term, sources familiar with the matter said. It is also still pursuing a deal with another Internet media and advertising major, such as Time Warner Inc's AOL. The expectation that Yahoo Chief Executive Jerry Yang has another strategy up his sleeve could help mitigate a steep descent for the company's shares on Monday, but he will face angry questions from shareholders if nothing materializes.
