I am happy to see that european e-tailers have faced the US "very challenging" competition.</P> <P>Then Yahoo Europe General Manager (<A href="http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9588_22-5406772.html">Dominique Vidal</A>) talked about Yahoo's acquisition of Kelkoo. He said one of the reason Yahoo bought european Kelkoo is its global presence in Europe and not the technology (shopbot). Obviously, the european market is more complex than the US one, especially for US companies with pan-european expansion plans.</P><img src ="http://www.pixvillage.com/blogs/antoine/aggbug/206.aspx" width = "1" height = "1" />
