[General] Finally lights are on, Yahoo Drops search to Microsoft's Bing

[bashar abdullah]

I think it's a big step for Microsoft to close gap on Google, it's a step
towards Microsoft assessing how valuable Yahoo can be for future
acquisition, although I think 10 years is way too long.

The silly thing is, Yahoo after years of being second or third in search,
has still only a handful of countries supported for ad targeting, thus
missing out on very large chunk of revenue. Everytime I want to try them I
stop because of this limitation, and they better start expanding.

As for Google, I think they should've tried to get Yahoo more on their side,
but if they win this, there is gonna be no second chance for MSFT after
that, and neither Yahoo!
