Google Sees Microsoft Bing, Yahoo as Chief Rivals, Not Apple

March 9th, 2010 | No Comments

Consumer Watchdog advocate John Simpson pored over Google’s 2009 Form 10-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission and made a striking discovery. While Google listed only Microsoft and Yahoo by name in its 2008 10-K filing, the search engine listed 10 companies that it views as competitors in the 2009 document. Yahoo and Microsoft Bing are listed as Google’s chief competition in search. No surprises there. What is surprising is what company isn’t listed as a competitor. Has Apple become Google’s Lord Voldemort to the point where it dare not speak its name as the maker of the iPhone and iPad?

Yahoo Could Take Years to Recover, Says CEO Bartz

March 3rd, 2010 | No Comments

Yahoo could emulate Apple in the 1990s in taking years to restore itself to competitive health, CEO Carol Bartz told reporters during a March 2 event to commemorate Yahoo’s 15th anniversary. Although Yahoo has aggressively sought to expand its more popular features while cutting underperforming applications and programs, the company has seen its U.S. search-engine market share decline in recent months. A 10-year agreement with Microsoft will see Bing power Yahoos back-end search, allowing Yahoo to focus primarily on designing its offerings in ways that appeal to a broad number of users.

CEO Carol Bartz, who compared her struggling
Internet company to Apple circa the return of Steve Jobs as

Microsoft, Yahoo Face Integration Challenges, Analysts Say

February 20th, 2010 | No Comments

Microsoft and Yahoo’s search deal will give Microsoft’s Bing search engine much needed scale versus market giant Google, but integration challenges are a certainty as the companies rationalize assets and partners, say analysts from FBR Capital Markets. Assuming all goes smoothly, Collins Stewart analyst Sandeep Aggarwal said it may take up to three quarters for Microsoft to absorb part of Yahoo’s search related operational expenditure and for Yahoo to realize 90 percent or more of the $650 million it expects to save from running its own search engine and search ad platform.

Microsoft, Yahoo Deal Will Boost Competition vs. Google, DOJ Says

February 19th, 2010 | No Comments

The Justice Department’s Antitrust Division Feb. 18 cleared the search engine agreement between Microsoft and Yahoo because the deal is likely to increase competition with Google. Echoing what Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has said several times about the Microhoo deal, the DOJ said the transaction will improve Microsoft’s ability to compete versus Google because it will give its Bing search engine more scale.
