Microsoft and Yahoo Reach Deal

Posted by kdawson on from the rhymes-with-sting dept.

e9th writes "We know that Microsoft failed last February in its attempt to buy Yahoo. Now, Advertising Age reports that they've reached a deal. Instead of a buyout, the two will enter into a revenue sharing agreement, and Bing will become Yahoo's default search engine. The meat of the AdAge article can be found in Yahoo News. This deal may give Google something to worry about."

    I don't think the "You got Bing in my Yahoo!" commercial would fly so well. I'm sure someone would misinterpret it.
