After months of speculation, Microsoft and Yahoo! are today expected to announce details of an online search and advertising partnership, as both companies seek to compete more closely with Google http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technolo...crosoft-and-Yahoo-to-confirm-search-deal.html
Wow, big news. Yahoo will use Bing's search algorithm.... Does this means my Yahoo SERP ranking will be worthless now?
The title is wrong. Bing did NOT buy Yahoo. This is an example of dinosaurs mating, both ready for extinction.
I just read the news. here is the cnn version: http://money.cnn.com/2009/07/29/technology/microsoft_yahoo/index.htm?postversion=2009072908 Wish Bing do well in the future.
I can tell microsoft really wants a bigger share of the search engine market, ever since they have changed live search to bing, it seems that they have been pushing quite hard for people to use their product. I have seen at least 10-15 commercials on television advertising bing now. Anyway, I guess this is their next step, however google still has them beat.
Google.com is the best. Add yahoo.com & bing.com, they won't ever touch Google. Good move but unfortunately for Microsoft they will not be in pole position just yet.
