The thing is, with just about the entire world reaching for google when searching, what is Microsoft actually going to accomplish by buying Yahoo.
I mean they say that they are bringing in richer and deeper results, but quite a few times when I searched their Live search, knowing something was there, their search engine couldn't output the results.
Google on the contrary took less then a second, and boom, I remembered the name of the sites which I was trying to find.
Now in the midst of this, what happens if some genius from MIT or Carnegie, comes up with their own version of a relational search algorithm, where are we then.
IMO, Yahoo doesn't want to sell and Yang could say heck with it, we'll run Yahoo the way it's going, but were not going to sell.
Microsoft is going to have a hard time competing
