In a totally non-expected announcement Yahoo! Japans gets allied with Google and plane to pass to use their search engine Microsoft is not happy http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20100727/tc_afp/japanusinternetcompanyyahoogooglemicrosoft
Ahhh! A refreshing news indeed! Thanks for sharing. Well it's a start then we'll see which country is next!
This will be great challenge for Mircosoft, if so google will be control the most of market share in Japan.
More like a defeat instead of a challenge for Microsoft and this is just the beginning. Things will eventually be entertaining in the next couple of years.
This is a big surprise to me personally. Yahoo is the most famous search engine preferred by Japanese and got far away from Google in Japan market. Yahoo is actually no need to be allied with Google in Japan unless some certain reason may caused. I am wondering if this alliance may cause a troublesome for "Yahoo-Microsoft" pact in global somehow.
That is terrible news for free market as there will only be Bing left to counter them. On the other hand, it is good because they have the best algorithm (Google).
Japanese like Yahoo better than Google.It's nice for their alliance. For me,besides Google.I prefer Bing than Yahoo..
