The big news here in the Valley is that Yahoo! and Microsoft have come to terms to work together to provide an alternative to another Googoliath - Google. A clear case of Goliath versus Goliath.
The deal - Yahoo will use Microsoft's search engine, "Bing," on its Web sites.
Yahoo will take over premium search advertising for both companies around the world.
More details.
I don't like any of these companies. But two of them are my neighbors and I am working on a Microsoft operating system.
But then who likes a Goliath, right?
In the end it will be great to have an alternative to the one (Google) who made ONLY $1.2 billion in the last quarter and still felt they needed to lay off people and outsource to work-at-home folk to reduce spending.
Seriously, we need a David. See 1 Samuel 17 for the Biblical account.
