Microsoft Plucks Washington for Bing
August 5, 2009
Check out this article: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Washington-Googles-Its-Way-to-Bing-118041.shtml. The state of Washington chose Bing search over Google and Yahoo! to power its web site, and Microsoft is partnering with the state’s information services department to work the program. Here’s what caught my attention: “The deal will cost Washington taxpayers no money, authorities revealed.” So is Microsoft giving away its Bing search system, or is this a “foot in the door and get a reference” sort of plan? I’m not sure it’s a wise decision to start a search engine price fight, especially against the almighty GOOG.

If Yahoo and Microsoft together can’t beat Google no one has a chance.
