Microsoft&Yahoo

[beatyourprice]

I think with in a year we going to see this company merge their search engine. What will happen to google if this happen. Any thought.

I don't know if this is going to happen ! There were several rumors about this the past year. But they are 2 GIANTS !

If this will happen, I don't think Google has to worry ! (at least not at the beginning) Google still has the most marketshare in hands!

But combining the powers of MSN and YAHOO might be a good idea though ! They will develop and admin things together, might be better than GOOGLE !!

I don't have a clue, time will say!

They won't merge or anything as they are rival company's and I do not think they would work together on their search engines.

They might Luke, you never know! As Nomar said, time will learn

Well like Nomar said... MSN & Yahoo would be a good idea but Google rules the search engine area and so they wouldn't need to merge with anyone.

I doubt Microsoft would go ahead and merge with another company like Yahoo! as Microsoft seems more interested in simply buying other companies which are much smaller and have decent products which may not be so well known.
Then they just bolt the Microsoft logo over the old logo and charge people £200 to use it.
It's kind of like what Google does, but Google just puts "powered by Google" somewhere instead of changing the name and pretending it's a new product.

Yahoo! is trying to branch out like Google has (though in Google's case, "spreading like some kind of constantly mutating virus" would be a better description), but to a lesser extent.

I wouldn't be surprised by a joint venture between Microsoft and Yahoo!, but a full blown merger just doesn't seem like something that'll happen any time soon.

They might have thought of that already but for what reason? will that help there company? google already did kill the competition and it would be hard to win over the game anymore..

I do not think it really will effect google per say but it might be very good for the other two search engines, maybe we will finally see some changes in them.

I don't think it was even going to happen.

I think it was just something someone started.
