Tellme's tale as Microsoft subsidiary (AP)

February 29, 2008 | By In Technology |

Tellme general manager and founder Mike McCue poses with active phones at company headquarters in Mountain View, Calif., Tuesday, Feb. 26, 2008. McCue spent eight years building Tellme, a voice-automation service that he never expected to sell, especially to Microsoft, which antagonized and eventually annihilated his previous employer, Netscape Communications. But McCue's feelings changed after he met with Microsoft's boisterous chief executive, Steve Ballmer, and the two men quickly agreed on an $800 million deal that represents Microsoft's biggest Silicon Valley acquisition so far. (AP Photo/Paul Sakuma)AP - Mike McCue hasn’t talked to Yahoo Inc. co-founder Jerry Yang since Microsoft Corp. ambushed the Internet pioneer with an unsolicited takeover bid a month ago.
