Yahoo! and Microsoft finally struck a deal, allowing Yahoo! to exit the ultra-competitive search engine business and focus more on content. This is a huge deal for Microsoft — with their recent re-package and re-launch of Live, now called Bing, they are now the undisputed #2 in search, for now.

Here’s a breakdown of the deal, and how it affects Yahoo!, Microsoft, Google, Advertisers and Consumers.

Survival of the Fastest, a new YouTube channel for business

posted by Scott on April 10th, 2009

Google has launched a new YouTube channel to offer business advice to firms amid the recession.

Survival of the Fastest is a joint collaboration between the search engine, the London Business School and the Daily Telegraph and features video content from prominent business and political figures, offering advice on the best ways to cope with the economic downturn.

It is made up of three content streams – e-commerce, marketing and finance – and Google intends to use it to develop a business community on the web. As with other YouTube channels, you can subscribe to the channel, leave comments, vote on existing videos and upload your own video replies.

I’ve already found some great info and am interested to see how it continues to develop. Pretty cool!
