U.S. Internet giants Google Inc. and Yahoo Inc. have approached Amsterdam-based Trader Classified Media over a possible takeover or tie-up, the London Sunday Times reported. Trader Classified, which publishes 578 print guides and runs 56 Web sites with classified ads for shoppers in 22 countries, in July announced a strategic review. Its shares are listed in Paris. Earlier this month its chief executive, John McCall MacBain, said the company was considering taking its Russian or Chinese units public, bringing on a partner or possibly selling the whole company after receiving approaches from several Internet firms.
