MS-Yahoo partnership gets U.S. and EU antitrust.......

[JMH]

The search partnership proposed last July by Microsoft and Yahoo finally has gained regulatory clearance by both the U.S. Department of Justice and the European Comission, the companies announced February 18.

Implementation of the deal is “expected to begin in the coming days.” Yahoo’s algorithmic and paid-search platforms go to Microsoft, and Yahoo becomes the exclusive “relationship sales force” for both companies with premium search advertisers.

Hi there
be interesting to see what Google does next.

BBC News - Microsoft-Yahoo search deal approved

One thing I do like about YAHOO that GOOGLE doesn't do is to be able to get automated stock quotes (15 min delay) that you can download and update into an EXCEL spreadsheet

stocks from ^FTSE: Components for FTSE 100 - Yahoo! Finance
