Recently we heard the news that Microsoft and Yahoo entered a pact for next 10 years for search engine integration.Basically MS wants to aggressively market its new search engine Bing and Yahoo could be of great help. In the search engine market,google sits supreme with 65% market share.Yahoo and MS (bing) currently share 28% of market share.Rest of the search engines like askjeeves.com,dogpile,AOL etc etc take whats left. Bing arrived on the scene with a bang.All tried Bing atleast once or twice then came back to good old Google. I was watching a show on CNN yesterday in which they…
