Google and yahoo working together I like that. Anything to help make Google more predictable.

Here’s an interesting quote from Popular Mechanics. Udi Manber, Google vice president overseeing search quality, in response to a question about webpage content evolving to be more search engine friendly explained, “It’s definitely still lacking. I wish people would put more effort into thinking about how other people will find them and putting the right keywords onto their pages.” Popular Mechanics – April 16, 2008

Maybe there’s hope. Hopefully Yahoo wears off on Google a little bit.

Alternate translation: “We like the idea of a free / weaker Yahoo! than one tethered in high-orbit to the Mount Microsoft in Redmond.”

And then there’s that old Russian proverb: the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Politics, eh…

Quality? I think that word dropped out of their lexicon long time ago.

Do not expect improvements, if anything things will get worse on both ends.

I think a user need to dig really hard to find relevant information on the net. Everything is biased and filtered.

As the Internet defragments, it maybe be better to go the route of social media aggregators.

Just remember, humans learn from each other not from machines!

Seems like search giant is going for a relationship with an e-commerce giant, it’s a huge turn around in the internet economy. When Eric Schmidt says “we like money, and Yahoo can help us make more of it”, its a critical fishy idealism which put questions on providing quality search results to web surfers.

2 are stronger, but 2 strongest in their regions are strongest in the world . I am afraid to think what they can achieve …

Looks more like Yahoo going to bed with Google just to pump and dump to Microsoft.

Plain Economics, supply and demand optimal price optimization. Something like SEO LinkBait!

I find it interesting that two are working together. It’s refreshing to know that people don’t take this industry so seriously that they can be civil with even their competitors.
