We here at OSNews haven't really been reporting on this, but if you're following other tech websites, you will undoubtedly know that Microsoft has been axing a number of products and initiatives lately. It seems as if Microsoft is doing what many companies do in economically dire times: cut the cruft, and focus on your core aspects.

RazorFish was sold because it overlapped with existing advertising business within Microsoft. MS didn't even want RazorFish in the first place. It was just part of a bigger ad company, MS bought. That one continues to be part of MS. The ad business has not been spun off to Yahoo. Yahoo only manages "premium" customers now (whatever premium means compared to normal ad customers).
Soapbox was discontinued, because it overlapped with "normal" MSN Video -- that service continues to operate.
