Microsoft Live Search Cashback: How Will You Spend Your $600 Rebate?

May 24th, 2008 at 03:08am Under Uncategorized

live%20search%20cashback.jpg

This morning investment bank Collins Stewart hosted a confrerence call for clients who wanted to learn more about Microsoft Live Search Cashback.

The buzz and excitement surrounding the Cashback launch has been palpable.

CNET has coverage of the Microsoft Live Search Cashback call this morning.

What’s truly brilliant about Microsoft’s move: share of searches is the most watched index of search engine success. What matters most, though, is the quality of those searches.

The most valuable searches are commercial searches. Helping satisfy the collective curiosity of a nation is, at times, a noble mission. Most searches, though, tend to be news and gossip-related.

While it’s great for the online tabloid industry, there’s not much value in being the go-to search engine for the Gossip Girl and lad mag crowd. Does a search engine really care if it delivers the best results for “elke the stallion,” gyrotonics, and “la rag mag?”

Microsoft wants all Americans who receive a $600 rebate check to think of Live.com search first. If you’re going to spend money online, what’s the most relevant result?

The SERP that delivers value, savings and bargains.

Microsoft Closing Live Search Books and Academic Projects

May 24th, 2008 at 03:08am Under Uncategorized

Microsoft has announced that they are closing their Live Search Books and Live Search Academic Projects. While they will still index books and scholarly publications in their primary search index, Microsoft’s digitization initiatives will come to an end.

Libraries and publishers are encouraged to build digital archives utilizing the platform Microsoft built with Kirtas, the Internet Archive, CCS, and others.

Commenting on the future of the search business, Satya Nadella Senior vice president search, portal and advertising, wrote on the Live Search blog, “Given the evolution of the Web and our strategy, we believe the next generation of search is about the development of an underlying, sustainable business model for the search engine, consumer, and content partner.”

What do you think about Microsoft’s move to end their Live Search Books and Academic Projects? Let us know in the comments.

Yahoo Nominates Current Board but Postpones Shareholder Meeting

May 24th, 2008 at 03:07am Under Uncategorized

Yahoo has nominated 9 of the 10 current board members for re-election this July. But the shareholders meeting has been postponed. Originally scheduled for July 3, the meeting is now expected to occur in late July.

Who the delay ultimately ends up helping remains to be seen. On the one hand, the delay could help Carl Icahn in his proxy board fight. Or the time could help the current board negotiate a deal with Microsoft or an ad deal with Google.

In order for that to happen, Jerry Yang will need to cooperate. Kara Swisher is reporting that Yang is no longer going it alone in negotiations. Roy Bostock, Yahoo’s Chairman, is assuring shareholders that “others” including independent directors to make sure the renewed talks with Microsoft go a little better.

But at least one current board member is trading in the drama for a more peaceful life. Edward Kozel is retiring from the board to spend more time with his family. He will not be replaced. Yahoo is only nominating the remaining 9 members.
