Dear all:

Re: Yahoo Gives In to Microsoft, Gives Up on Search - BusinessWeek
http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/jul2009/tc20090728_826397.htm

Fyi - I think it will rather strengthen the impact of Yahoo SearchMonkey 
technology, because that is actually the strongest technical asset of 
Yahoo - if your read the
article carefully, you will see that what MS will provide is the 
matching of sponsored links to search results. And that is something
GoodRelations meta-data will make a lot more powerful. So I see no 
reason to assume a reduced importance of SearchMonkey. More likely it
will quickly increase the scope of SearchMonkey from Yahoo to Yahoo+Bing.

Also note that an even bigger business benefit for companies will be be 
high-quality traffic generated via GR-powered affiliate marketing etc.,
which does not require Yahoo crawling. Yahoo is important for 
encouraging the small businesses to create an initial data set.

A huge business potential will  be in complementing systems that use the 
respective data in more depth and breadth than Yahoo. It may be Bing, it 
may be a novel vendor ;-)
We will see...

Best
