Two Suggestions For Improving Google Universal
On Jan. 30, 2008, Danny Sullivan posted a rather long blog post explaining Universal Search. He's got some great insights there and I won't tackle everything. But I have a few things to say about Google Universal Search in general (not Danny Sullivan): First off, I think Google Universal Search is on the right track, but there do need to be some improvements. No. 1 on the list is Image Search. I have no idea how Google indexes its photos.

Can Microsoft Improve Yahoo?
(Source) The world's top software company could boost its online presence dramatically if Yahoo accepts a $44.6 billion bid to be purchased. I'm a stern believer in competition. I believe it improves the overall performance of the competitors and gives greater choices to consumers. But in the case of Yahoo!, it hasn't been much of a competitor lately. Microsoft believes it can change that. I find this interesting. There have been rumors of a Microsoft takeover of Yahoo! for a while now. Microsoft, however, has problems with its own search engine, Live. Why do you think it's in third place? But taking over Yahoo! would put Microsoft in first place and give the company a greater share of the search market altogether. Plus, Microsoft's foray into CLICK HERE TO READ MORE...
