"Yahoo is allegedly planning to make a bid for a controlling stake in online video service DailyMotion. The Wall Street Journal cites inside sources claiming that the search engine firm could purchase as much as 75% of the popular streaming website.   Owned by France Telecom, DailyMotion is the world&amp;#039;s 12th largest video site with around 116 million monthly users, and is valued at almost \u00A3200 million. A Yahoo buyout would mark current CEO Marissa Mayer&amp;#039;s first major acquisition since she took charge of the struggling web operation last year. Yahoo shut down seven of its products, including its BlackBerry smartphone app, earlier this month as part of a cost-cutting strategy implemented to turn the firm&amp;#039;s fortunes around. France Telecom has declined to comment on the rumours linking Yahoo with a bid for DailyMotion. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
