Microsoft wants to buy Yahoo
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7222114.stm
Well, this might give Google a bit of a competition on the web.

Re: Microsoft wants to buy Yahoo
All MS is buying, IMHO, is the brand. Most of the technology, I believe, is duplicated already.
It *IS* an attempt to overtake Google. I doubt it will be successful.

Re: Microsoft wants to buy Yahoo
I dunno I've run searches on both and gotten identical results. What exactly makes one better than the other?

Re: Microsoft wants to buy Yahoo
Google originated with a different algorithm... identifying the validity of a link by the number of places that linked to it. I'm sure everyone else has picked up on that by now, so I think it's based on efforts to make finding what you want easier.... hmmm... it may not be long before Google invents elevators like in HGttG... that know where you want to go before you show up....
