Yahoo and Microsoft Complete 10 Year Search Deal!
After months of talks and discussions, Yahoo and Microsoft have finally cemented the deal which they had agreed on earlier this year.
They released a joint statement which said “Microsoft and Yahoo! believe that this deal will create a sustainable and more compelling alternative in search that can provide consumers, advertisers and publishers real choice, better value, and more innovation.”
There is still however a long time to go before things can implemented and changes will start to appear.
The next step for the pair is to meet with the Department of Justice in the US and then the European Union to clear up any competition concerns that they might have.
Yahoo and Microsoft are joining forces to take on the might of Google, however they have a big task ahead of them with Google having 85% of all searches.
Yahoo have also just released the Year in Review 2009 which can be found on the Yahoo Homepage
