Microsoft-Yahoo Search Deal Gets Go-Ahead From EU, US DoJ

Posted by timothy on from the will-it-blend? dept.

CWmike writes "Microsoft and Yahoo announced Thursday morning that the US DOJ and the European Commission have approved an agreement between the two firms to have the Bing search engine power Yahoo's sites. The companies said that engineers will begin adapting Bing for the Yahoo site 'in the coming days' and that they hope work is completed, at least the US, by the end of this year."

    I'm beginning to think we should all boycott Google and use Bing. Between the Buzz mess and their outright lies on China (we'll shut off censorship, oh wait, maybe not) I feel like something needs to happen to get their heads out of their asses.

    I wouldn't give up my Droid, Gmail, or Google Apps (the alternatives aren't even comparable) but I could live with Bing.
