Search Wars

According to this article

Yahoo and Microsoft will be launching there new and improved search engines next week.

As we all know, Google owns the online search market, although they will soon experience heightened competition. I think that it only makes sense for Yahoo and Microsoft to team up, rather than compete with each other and Google.

This article explains...

"The two companies have been discussing a complex deal in which Yahoo would sell its Web search and search advertising technology to Microsoft, in exchange for an upfront payment and some share of the revenue of the search ads it shows on Yahoo, according to people familiar with the matter."

  1. Google was down last thursday or friday. I use google a lot. While it was down I tried microsoft's live search and I was extremely surprised at how good it was. I haven't used yahoo in a while, but them teaming up should help both a little, but not really touch google's 74% search domination
