Saw this on InfoBeat today: ** Yahoo to buy EGroups Yahoo said it would buy e-mail service provider EGroups (www.egroups.com) for $437.5 million in stock to enhance the Internet giant's communications services. Yahoo (YHOO) said it would issue 3.43 million shares of stock for all of EGroups shares, options, and warrants. The purchase will be accounted for as a pooling of interests and is expected to close in the third quarter. Yahoo said it would report a one-time charge during the third quarter for expenses to cover the takeover.
