Yahoo! Search Providing Support to Wikipedia

Posted by Zonk on from the yahoogle dept.

Jamesday writes "Yahoo! Search will also be providing support for Wikipedia. Discussions, started at the same time as the aforementioned Google announcement, have been ongoing with both Yahoo! and Google but only the Google news leaked. It's now more clear why Wikipedia said there was no need to worry about undue influence from any single sponsor."

    Wikimedia Foundation and MSN Search announced today that they have reached an agreement by which MSN will provide a host of monkeys to Wikimedia. MSN will dedicate a significant number of primates in one of its Redmond facilities for writing Wikimedia's free content. Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft, says that this generous donation will be of particular benefit to the vibrant and growing community of Wikipedia-heads.
