Google Signs $900m MySpace Deal

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the road-to-world-domination dept.

deadmantyping writes "Google has signed a $900m deal with Fox to provide search capabilities for Fox sites, the most noteworthy of which is MySpace. This deal does not include FoxSports.com, which already has a deal with MSN. Google claims that 'MySpace was an important site to be involved with given its rapid popularity growth.' Google also signed a deal with MTV earlier in the week."

    Google paid News Corp to be the sole advertiser. Not News Corp paid Google to provide search.

    Thank you, that is all...
