Microsoft Doesn't Like Google
Microsoft, I've had it with all of your "business strategies". All of your strategic plans always end up taking you up to the dump. First you try to get people to host a Windows 7 party at their own house while bribing them for a free copy of "signature edition" Windows 7. You've came too far with this one; you really have.
Microsoft has approached a company called News Corp to basically pay them to make Google not index their site. Yes, Microsoft has the money to do things like this, but it doesn't mean they should. If you ask me, this is so wrong by Microsoft; it does play well with their previous advertising skills though.
I know, it sounds terrible, but again, this is Microsoft we're dealing with, and they'll do anything to make their services and software more popular. I thought about using Bing, to be honest, and now, I'm not even going to use any of Microsoft's search engines again. I found Google through the old MSN search engine, and I will stick with Google until something comes out that's even better.
If Microsoft keeps this up, you might just be practically forced to use Bing just because you cannot get the same content that's being deleiverd on Google. They might even go so far that in order to find LinkedIn profiles, Facebook profiles, and maybe even your UStream profile, you need to use Bing to find them.
If you ask me, this will most likely cause more users to stop using Bing and go back to Google or another futuristic search engine like Collecta.
What do you think about Microsoft doing this? I would love to get your thoughts in the comments below.
Stalk me on social media! Any other way would just be creepy…
