There were many rumors the Apple may make Bing the default search engine on the iPhone. During the WWDC we learned that, that is not so. Bing will join Google and Yahoo and now has the blessings of Apple to be a part of the Mobile Search revolution. Despite Bing's best efforts people refuse to leave Google Search and use Bing. After all looking at it logically why will people leave Google and go to Bing. They have not come up with anything new and they don't have a new killer App that brings something new to search. If anything they have a very restricted search which cannot be called search at all. Basically they have this big directory with some sites already added and when you search Bing all you get is results from these few sites. which means that Bing is not a search engine but just a directory. A search engine needs to have intelligence. So Bing fails when it comes to innovation. For those who still like to use it it will be available on the iPhone 4. According to analyt...

Whereas Yahoo commanded a 16.1 percent search share for October, but declined to 15.4 percent in November. Microsoft and Bing had a smaller decline -- 9.6 percent in October to 9.3 percent in November -- but a decline nonetheless.  Hitwise also went on to say that one word search queries were still the biggest contributing to 24% of over all searches.  Searches of 8 or more words increased by one percent.

Beginning during the first half of 2010 Yahoo users will be able to to combine their activity streams between yahoo and Facebook.

Yahoo stands to gain from this deal rather than the other way around. What happens then to OpenID. Which ...
