Microsoft Takes Over Yahoo
The unconvincing issue around the net is the booming domination by the leading players. Google and Microsoft, Microsoft and Google, are there really anyone else in command of the information highway? Truthfully while Yahoo was never a search engine superpower, it has been containing its own on the net, well that’s at any rate until they came across a deal with Microsoft, that is correct, now Microsoft will be taking over Yahoo search
Yahoo has been trading away assets left and right at least of late, since their current chief executive officer Carol Bartz assumed the helm. Only rather than bringing in the boastful alterations that this search engine called for in order to repossess some of their force on the internet she has little by little sold away bits of this company cutting it to nothing more than a inferior presence on the internet the equivalent of AOL.
Microsoft made it seem that this change would benefit both companies in essence they are just eliminating more of the competition which helps them drive their newest venture Bing into a second ranking position to Google, still clearly ranked well above any other competitor. In the long run though this lack of choice will cost consumers more money since the less competition there is the more companies can charge for their services leaving you no choice but to pay the over inflated charges that they serve up.
Ultimately, Microsoft taking over Yahoo search will reduce this once competitor to nothing more than a secondary influence on the web. This means that there will essentially be only two search engines on the web and these players are Google and Bing and that being said this will provide not only an increase in the cost of things like PPC advertising but will also limit the users to finding only what these two search engines deem important. Since each search engine operates on its own algorithms this will greatly affect web marketing across the board.
And although it could have been nice to see Yahoo try and acquire a little ground from these two internet heavyweights for now it’s time to say adieu to Yahoo search. We may only hope that someone else produces a fresh search engine that could give these two companies a run for their money.
