MySpace is now showing ‘Powered by Google’ next to its search box which is featured on the MySpace home page, admin pages, and profile pages.
Google and MySpace struck a landmark deal last August which assured Google search and AdWords would be the MySpace search engine and sponsored ads programs of choice.
Furthermore, the partnership is also expected to bring Google optimized display advertising and contextual ads to MySpace while possibly supplying Google with the means to better serve personalized search and advertisements based upon the information & videos posted on user MySpace profiles.
Note : this story has been Dugg and I posted this comment on Digg, which is worth also mentioning here for our readers;
Sure, Google & MySpace will both be highly benefiting from the search & advertising deal; but the “Powered by Google” Logo is quite reminiscent of when Google powered Yahoo back in 2001, and built their reputation by doing so.
Google’s new MySpace deal may, in fact be rebranding Google as cool to the MySpace generation, which may be securing Google’s marketshare for years to come.

Google is great, but how many one-click access points do I need to get there? Myspace sucks, I guess it’s just another example of more junk being added onto an already awful design.
MySpace is about user generated content, and it presents to Google the same challenge of video or image search that are so awful in Google.
Google that is so amazing when it gets to search on general web pages wanted the advertising cake is sacrifying its reputation here.
They forgot to add forum search ;)
Does anyone think it will make a difference over the yahoo search results they had before? Does anyone really use the search on myspace.com anyway? Also does anyone know vois.com the adult version of my space?
I never used the search on myspace. It would have been nice if the included the forum search too!!! I looked at that vois.com – it seemed easy to use and it is nice that it is just for adults.

Medstrong International Corporation Announces Name Change to VOIS Inc. and OTC Ticker Symbol Change to VOIS (OTC BB: VOIS, VOISW) Uniting social networking and online commerce into social commerce (or “sCommerce”)
Friday March 30, 2007 06:38:00 EDT
DELRAY BEACH, Fla., March 30, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ —
Medstrong International Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: MDSI, MDSIW) today announced it has changed its name to VOIS Inc. and its ticker symbol to VOIS (OTC Bulletin Board: VOIS, VOISW). Effective immediately, all common shares for VOIS Inc., as well as shares previously registered under MDSI (OTC Bulletin Board: MDSI), will be traded under the new ticker symbol VOIS (OTC Bulletin Board: VOIS), and all warrants for VOIS Inc., as well as warrants previously registered under MDSIW (OTC Bulletin Board: MDSIW), will be traded under the new ticker symbol VOIS (OTC Bulletin Board: VOISW).
The name change to VOIS Inc. (“VOIS”) coincides with the company’s recently-announced plans to launch an online community that unites social networking and online commerce, an emerging business opportunity that analyst company Compete, Inc. calls “social commerce” (or “sCommerce”). VOIS is one of the first publicly-traded companies dedicated to online social commerce.
VOIS currently operates an alpha site at http://www.vois.com (“VOIS.COM”) to test functionality and scalability. VOIS intends to completely re-configure, transform and re-launch VOIS.COM as a sCommerce network later this year.

I do not think Google is in danger of losing its market share. In fact, in the past decade I do not think I have seen anyone use any other search engine. By adding a search function on my space, however, what Google is really doing is taking the remaining market share away from whichever search engines are still fighting to survive.
