Will they beat google on Search ? is google worried?

Microsift + Yahoo deal if it happens?

Both are getting rich ! We get better search with better competition :-)

Tuff Competition-benefits for searcher...

I only use google. MS and yahoo have problems with hijackers pulling your request and presenting you with an ad page that amounts to a shopping guide. When I want info on "twinkies", I want referrals to "hostess". I don't want a shopping page telling me about doughnuts in Montreal, Canada.

I doubt they will ever catch up to Google. In fact, I remember reading something a year or two ago from one of the vice president's of Yahoo and she pretty much admitted that Yahoo would never catch up.

The stats on one of the websites I maintain shows that over 65% of all search inquiries to the site come from Google. The other 35% is split between all the other search engines. When the other search engines are that far behind it is not likely they will ever get close.

the competion will increase bet them and will improve the standards of internet services . benifit for us

Quiet possible. It will be great competition.

No, I don't think they will.
Google is more known that both Live Search and Yahoo! Search.

I use google only.Why? Because there is too much graphics on the Yahoo and MSN home pages.Takes longer time to load.

I am smelling big $$$ for the next search engine...Alphadelta.com

Google will always have their brand popularity...

Both
google and Microsoft are making lots of money.

No,
i do not think google is worried/scared in anyway.
