   Wow. It'll take at least two years before a full implementation? How long term of a commitment will these two companies have to each other?

   If I remember right, treeski, Microsoft and Yahoo are lining up a 10 year deal.

   For them 2 years is nothing, and the 10 year is kinda like a short relationship, lol.

   I wouldn't mind Bing so much if it wasn't so slow, if they didn't try to copy google with the whole "Just bing it!" stuff, and if they didn't have the goal of taking over google as the most used search engine, I mean comon, it's google.

   I think that would be a horrible mind set of any competitor in any market. "Come on, it's Google!". I think Bing is a great search engine, and it has become my primary method of search. I will use Google from time to time when I'm looking for extra results though.

   Mm.. I not sure if they should waste their time and money to build a search engine quickly , it will only fall , they should build the foundation bit by bit , instead of hurrying in panic .

    It will not bring any good for Yahoo.On the other hand Microsoft's influence will increase.

    I wonder if Bing is going to become as powerful as Google. Microsoft being as powerful as it is, who knows, only time will tell...

    With Yahoo's recent improvement in business operations, wonder if they will start to back away from a deep partnership from Microsoft.

    They may try but Google to catch up to Google but I highly doubt they will catch up. Yahoo used to be it... they are just so yesterday at this point, much like MySpace is so yesterday compaired to Facebook.

    I have been using Bing more and more lately. I used Google maps and it couldn't find the address.Bing no problem, Bing is my primary mapping and direction solution now. Google is still pretty good but Bing is closing in.With the Yahoo deal who knows ...

    Im just going to stick to google, simple and to the point. Google, yahoo, bing are all the same to me they don't/can't really provide any real difference among each other. Your just searching for info and that's really it. I notice that Bing kinda came out of nowhere to be among the big players and now is making its mark, i feel in the end google will always remain on top.
