According to an unconfirmed report on Web site Ynews, Yahoo Inc. may be in discussions to buy Israeli based Video sharing site MetaCafe for a reported $200 to $300 million. Yahoo representatives contacted by InfoWorld declined to comment on the report, which was opined about on TechCrunch, saying they don't comment on rumor and speculation.
If the report is true and Yahoo can seal the deal with MetaCafe (a reported problem for the company with past deals) would give Yahoo an established video sharing site with over 17 million unique visitors a month and 400 million video views, according to MetaCafe figures.
