Yahoo and Bing Come Together For a Better Search

Google has really been giving the search world a one-two punch with daily developments for user interaction. Both MSN Live Search (now known as Bing) and Yahoo have re-invented their search platforms, but Google is still on the up-and-up and maintaining firm control in the search market. To cut costs and raise revenues the two other search engines have joined forces. Now that they have gotten together, what shall we call this duo? YaBing!? I hope it catches on!

Vancouver Winter Olympics Online Coverage

Can’t get to a TV to watch the Winter Olympics? Online, there are some websites that are doing a great job of covering the Olympics with up-to-the-minute coverage and organized information. These sites have designed their pages for great user interactivity and have the most up-to-date feeds. I will go through each site and let you know, which one has unique information that the others do not have.

Yahoo and Bing Teaming up Against Google

In a move to take some of the momentum away from Google, Microsoft has re-entered their negations with Yahoo. It could potentially “give Microsoft roughly 30 percent share of the online search market.” (AdAge, http://adage.com/digital/article?article_id=138138). For those of us in the search industry, this is some very significant news. What does this mean to internet marketing? and Will we have to make added effort in diversifying our PPC accounts? More importantly, will we no longer only worry about how visible we are in the eyes of Google?

The Search Engine Wars … Google, Yahoo and MSN

Google, Yahoo, MSN. These are all search engines that we have used at some point in our web-lives. In my experience, Yahoo used to be a major player in the Search Engine industry. I remember the day when I converted to Google; we all probably have a similar story. I was about in 8th grade; I was doing research for a project and was searching for something using Yahoo. My aunt came in the room and told me to use Google. Like anyone hearing the word "Google" I was perplexed, but she was a Berkley Grad so I saw her with some credibility. She told me that it gave smarter and better search results. Since that day I don't think that I have used Yahoo to search anything since.

Search Engines and Socialism

Search Engines and the Microsoft Yahoo Fiasco

Today we learned that Microsoft’s bid for Yahoo is a thing of the past. Jerry Yang thinks he should get $38 a share and apparently Steve Ballmer at Microsoft won’t budge from his initial offer of $31, although some suggest that Microsoft was willing to go to $33.
