Yahoo may be selling its core businesses, including email, news and online search. But who might be buying?

Analysts think shoppers could include phone giant AT&T, search engine companies Google and Microsoft.

The board of Yahoo Inc (YHOO.O) is weighing a sale of its core Internet business when it meets this week, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters.

The board's meeting comes amid a broader debate about the future of the company and that of high-profile Chief Executive Marissa Mayer.

The Wall Street Journal first reported the possible sale of the Internet business late on Tuesday. People familiar with the matter told the newspaper the board was expected to also discuss during meetings from Wednesday through Friday whether to proceed with a plan to spin off more than $30 billion in shares of Alibaba Holding Group Ltd (BABA.N). The company could also pursue both options, the paper said.

Exactly. They rejected $31 in 2008 and are likely to accept a figure around the same after 7 yearsd'oh!

True but they'll be lucky to get around same offer, so much has changed, we may hear of crazy bids if all remains constant

Old news, but how they looks to you after selling ? Since you asked you are probably using their products. For example with that transaction I've lost all my Yahoo e-mails, but whole account still working. What about search ? Tumblr, Flickr ? Have you tried all that ?
