Thread: Microsoft bidding for Yahoo

What do people make of Microsoft's latest attempt to buy yahoo? I think it would be great if they went ahead with it and joined together to develop a real alternative to google.

I just checked how some of my sites are doing on msn yesterday and was shocked with the terrible results it returned. A search for "PS3 Forum" on msn.co.uk brings back a site that has been down for at least a few months at no.1 and the second result is a terrible forum that barely anyone uses.

Hopefully with them working together they can finally come up with a decent system (and better marketing).

There certainly is a need for a lot more choice in providers for relevant search results. MSN is very poor in results and yahoo also comes up short on relevance. It is amazing that there is still only the big 3 and no serious contenders have emerged recently, what ever happened to Megaglobe?
