Because of this Yahoo and MSN have tried their best to beat the Big G for several years. And now, their solution is merger. There will be a big impact but I guess they will need more efforts because I think their combined market share is still less than Google's.

Both have launched new interfaces recently and improved thier search, so I dont think one needs the other in that sense. Yahoo keeps making moves to keep up with Google and still maintains good market share (not as good as Google obviously) but it is the 2nd most used search engine in the United States. MSN has actually lost market share (never had a good grip on it) so it makese sense on that end, but again, PERSONALLY, i think thier lacking in design and advertising. It really all comes down to Yahoo deciding if they can keep competing with Google in the years to come in terms of search (which they can) and aquisitions (financial power). They need MSN only for one of those reasons. I think financially for Yahoo, this could make sense according to wall street since the dissapointing Q1.
