Yahoo and Bing

Has anyone heard when Bing & Yahoo supposed to come together. I heard this last year - but I guess there some legal stuff they have to overcome.

 

Supposedly supposed to go through by October of this year, 2010, but since it's such a large merger it might take a bit more time.

 

Never heard about this, perhaps a new name? YaBing? Hehe.

 

I believe it started early this year and is slowly happening, both Yahoo and Bing have problems with their ad networks IMO so this is not really going far in terms of ROI

 

Yes they are going to form a merger and in the future, Yahoo would display the Bing search results on its pages and so, there would be one bigger competitor against Google.

 

I am eagerly wait for the merger .The reason for that it might be good adsense alternative .Today YPN is just for the us people , hope after merger some great news we will get .

 

Yup.. sucks. I hate Microshit. Bing is useless and Hotmail sucks.

 

YaBing or BingYa?

Which do you guys like bestter?

I like "YaBing"!!!

 

anyone hear any rumors on which webmaster tools they are going to essentially stick with?

 

i think they need to come together in order to beat Google haha

 

I think Microsoft will be grown up and Yahoo will be surely die. I do not know who was a starter for the idea but he/she should get a big reward from Microsoft. This merge will help Bing grower while Yahoo may be the same or become smaller in almost aspect I could think of.

 

Actually Jerry Yang (former "ceo" of Y!) made the HUGE mistake of not selling to MSFT when he had the chance. He blew it and pulled the company into the toilet!

 

i hope it does not happen

 

yBing in response to iGoogle

 

yes YaBing is much better.

 

Yes they are going to form a merger .. Yahoo and Bing will work together .. I hope that good things happen from this

 

Yep, adCenter takes over YSM too... not sure if a good thing... though both retarded compared to Google AW .. with who I have an intense love-hate relationship

 

you'd think it would be easy to log into adwords and replicate the business model but i guess they don't have adwords accounts

 

as far bing or yahoo is concerned its bing. . . .bt google on d top. .no one 2 compete wid it. .

 

They have been working hard at the conversion to have Bing provide Yahoo!'s organic search results. It started last year. They have reorganized their entire engineering and sales departments. Yahoo! dropped it's Search Submit Program (SSP) last year in preparation where you could basically pay your way to the top of the organic results. I am sure Microsoft didn't want to implement such garbage within Bing so support for it was dropped though it brought in millions each month in revenue to Yahoo!.
