Yahoo Microsoft Search Deal

So finally an official announcement of global deal between MSN Search Engine and Yahoo.  After investing so much of money on developing the new search platform and a huge advertising spends, this is the only left business partnership for MS to justify all the investments. If Bing is not able to aquire 40% market share in the next one year, MS CEO should be on fire.

All said, it is now know that Bing platform is really an advanced version of what Google displays. Online users are expecting more now and thats where Bing will step into. The only huge difference in the search industry between Google and everyone else is its huge database, due to which you have results for almost anything you type from any corner of the world.

Yes the market is growing, so is the competition. The market share may change, slow down growth rate for some, however may not reduce overall revenues.

The way I look at internet, someone who is eying to know everything you do online is a great danger and should not be supported. Rightly even the bad guy leves the society with greater markets to grow.

Without Google there would never have been such a strong medium, market, platform spread so fast and wide. Having said that, I am in no ways a admirer or follower of Google.

Infact find YAHOO cleaner than all the other players in the market who stood by its ethicates and now has to bow down the investment pressure and rightly. ONe should not try to push the elephant all alone when there is no other backing rather open up all doors and let the energy flow.

At times to be a spectator is the best position to be in rather than a player

    GOOGLE has been dominating all the search engines.And now MSN and Yahoo search engine which are the other search competitor are now trying to work together. But I think its very difficult to take GOOGLE out of mind. When any one thinks of search engine. They think of GOOGLE. GOOGLE has been a other name for search engine.

  2. Locksmith, that is the story today, like the dominance of microsoft in the operating system and many other softwares. What a surfer really wants is easy tools to reach out to relevant information

  3. I doubt that the combination of Yahoo and Bing is going to make much of a difference in the short term. Google’s users are so loyal that it will be difficult to get them to switch. Additionally, having worked with Yahoo in the past, I think it will take a very long time for both organizations to get their act together.

  4. Hey, I seriously doubt the effectiveness of the term “Loyal” in the online space. The online edge, which is currently a huge one is the database that Google has. To come to speed with Google, the new combo Bing/Yahoo will definitely take time..

  9. Now that is a great challenge for MSN. Google has been dominating for the past 5 years, and constantly upgrading its tools for the webmasters and readers. I am just hoping for the best to MSN in the following year. Hmm..
