If you think about it, it really makes sense though. Recently Microsoft has been attempting to sell its search to Yahoo. If that did happen, Yahoo would just focus on advertising and content for the most part. The thing is, why would Yahoo buy search from Microsoft if their search engine gets even less traffic then theirs?
Which seems to me is a pretty big reason why Yahoo has said no to the search deal. However with the launch of Bing, that could change. Since Bing is hovering around (if not exceeding) the amount of search it gets compared to Yahoo. If Bing keeps its stance in the search market, and grows too, it could be a big bargaining chip to get Yahoo to accept the search deal. But of course, it might not help at all. Maybe for Yahoo, but since Microsoft would then be getting more search than Yahoo, it may not need Yahoo to accept the deal.
Makes sense, does it not?
