That whole Y+G partnership smelled funny from the beginning. Although with the the whole delayed beta of Yahoos version of AdSense did give the story a smidgen of credibility. Top Rated's last blog post..Looking For Top Rated Point And Shoot Digital Cameras?

Just one more thought…

I think Google’s biggest “competitor” might just be the Government whom at some point might start looking at Google’s dominance in the market as a monopolistic issue and see the need to reign them in.

I have zero belief that either MSFT, Yahoo, or MicroHoo have the savvy to significantly dent Google momentum. They are both, too distracted and too desparate.

Yahoo + Google against Microsoft?
Microsoft want to be a leader in the SE business, but time is spend.

But Google is getting huger…One big competitor will do the fight better than several small players.

I agree with people above. The more competition on the market the better for us.

Yahoo is in desperate need of a clear set plan for the way ahead. They seem to be desperately grasping at straws, and this hardly inspires investor confidence.

I agree with Dean. People know how reliable Google is and it will take a while for them to notice if Live Search is better. Once they notice they will change but people generally don't like change. It took me a while to change to Firefox. I still use IE every now and then though! John iPod Touch's last blog post..yourgreatestgifts.co.uk

I’d imagine they would. Looks like Ballmer and Microsoft weren’t the only ones that noticed the negatives.

@ Goran

Who exactly is “we”?

I would only switch if it was incrementally better than Google (like I did when I switched from IE to Firefox). Do you honestly think a MSFT-Yahoo marriage is going to a better search engine? I mean they’d probably have to pay me to use it, but what kind of marketing stooge would think that would work?….errr…nevermind

Whatever happens we will embrace it. Competition creates better service and more demand.

@iPod Touch

Frankly, I see a MSFT-Yahoo marriage as giving Google a greater advantage especially in the short term. It might takes months (years?) for MSFT to sort out the cultural difference while integrating the two companies – especially when one of them doesn’t was to be integrated

And so the Yahoo story continues! Personally I want Microsoft to acquire Yahoo so Google will have more competition in the search market. John iPod Touch's last blog post..Movie Trailer Watch
