So as I mentioned in a previous post, MS and Yahoo, have come together in search to take on you-know-who of search. It is interesting to read up on the many advantages Microsoft gets from the deal, and the huge inflow of money that Yahoo gets from this. Like it was summarized in SpiegelOnline, google may know what you may be searching for, but it is yahoo who probably knows why you are there in the first place.
Whatever it is, yahoo is now interested in being the entry portal to ones online life, but I am not so much convinced about that. Yes there used to be a time, when yahoo was my source of information and when i did use quite a few of the services, but these days with Firefox, RSS, Widgets, Tweets, and Search integrated, why there is a need for a portal is beyond me. But since those in command there earn a few hundred times more than what i do, I am going to assume they know what they are doing.
But before I sign off this post, I thought i ll mention Bing. Well I am not sure if Bing is better than Google, but it is atleast a very credible alternative. The last month, I have used more results than Bing has given me, than i thought possible. So for those wanting to give it a shot, try out the page at Google Vs Bing it is pretty interesing. The maps is really cool, with the perspective bird eye view, and the Bing Homepage is actually interesting with the interactive pictures. And now to sign off enjoy the video Googling with Bing.
