NY TIMES: Yahoo Is Inviting Partners to Build on Its Search Power

[has2hands]

Hey,

I found this interesting in NY Times today, Yahoo is inviting other search engines, large and small, to team up against Google.

Here is 3 paragraphs of the article:

Yahoo wants to enlist a small army of search start-ups as allies in the hope that collectively they will be able to stop the Google juggernaut, whose share of Web searches keeps growing.

To do so, on Thursday Yahoo is opening its search technology and powerful data centers to other companies, allowing them to build new or customized search engines without having to make the huge investments needed to develop a search service from scratch.

Yahoo, in turn, will sell ads on those new search engines; if some grab even small slivers of the search market, Yahoo will share in their success.

Yahoo is going to be sold/bought.. Cheap attempt at trying to beat out a worldwide leader. Ehh. It's like Mac coming out and saying come on geeks, let's team up against Microsoft.. Let's go!
