Our CNET News team put together a visual guide to the Yahoo mating dance. It might come in handy when the Yahoo board of directors meets tomorrow to consider the various options. Most bets are still on Microsoft upping its bid to capture Yahoo.

Perfect illustration of what I've always heard: "You can always count on internet companies to screw up the internet."

Facebooks involvement: Facebook is providing the dancehall for said mating dance! They are all writing on each other?s walls and superpoking each other! Aol in fact wrote on Microsoft?s wall saying that it would tag him in some rather naughty pictures if he didn't back of Yahoo! Yahoo meanwhile is battling through all these friend requests trying to work out which one to be in a relationship with. She wants to date Aol or Google but they are being kind of slow on the uptake and Mr Microsoft is offering his hand (and obscenely large wallet) in marriage. News Corp on the other hand doesn't have any friends as he is to embarrassed to let anyone know that he prefers Facebook to MySpace!
