Is Google Really Threatened By This Yahoo Microsoft Deal?

Or Will It Just Make Google Better?

Are you tired of reading about the Microsoft Yahoo deal yet? Obviously not or you wouldn’t be reading this. There has been a whole lot of coverage to digest, and there will certainly be a whole lot more as the deal gets scrutinized and continues its journey to fruition.

There has been a lot of talk about the deal being bad for Yahoo and good for Microsoft. This may or may not be true, as it’s really way too early to tell for sure, but Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has been doing his best to try to convince people (mainly Yahoo shareholders) that Yahoo is in fact getting a good deal.

Yahoo’s shareholders of course didn’t see it that way, and Yahoo’s stock plummeted after the announcement of the deal. But that’s because “nobody gets it,” according to Ballmer. Shareholders wanted cash, but Ballmer says they should be happy with the elimination of Yahoo’s search costs and the added advertisers that will surely come from the deal.

Others in the industry feel that Yahoo is simply making a big mistake by eliminating its own search business. Although there’s no denying that Bing has been building some buzz, and those pricey TV ads are helping to fuel that, but how many of the average Yahoo users will even care?

Yahoo & Microsoft have finally partnered in a search agreement

The ultimate question of this whole thing is will this really give Google significant competition in the search space? Again, it’s too early to truly tell, but my gut is telling me it’s not going to make an incredible difference.

If a typical Google user has tried Bing and decided to continue using Google as their primary search engine of choice, they’re not going to abandon it because Yahoo’s using it. Does it matter that much to Google if Yahoo users are using Bing? They were already using Yahoo over Google, so what’s the difference?

Microsoft and Yahoo may get some more advertisers out of this with the combination of Bing and Yahoo making up a greater percentage of the search market share, but it’s not like its going to draw advertisers away from Google, which still controls an incredibly dominant amount of that market.

And let’s not overlook the fact that when something eye-catching occurs in the search industry, and Google’s not the one catching eyes, they are usually quick to counter with their own offerings (or at least acknowledge that they will be forthcoming). When Bing launched and started highlighting all of its “cool new features,” Google was quick to add a link to its homepage highlighting some of its own “decision-engine-like features.”

Webpronews

Recently, from almost a month SMSs from Banks, Service Providers, Companies have started prefixing something like ID, AT, VK…etc. What’s all this after all!!? Here I am to explain you what it is! Normally these SMSs originates from a Bulk SMS provider where you can use 11 digit Alpha-Numeric characters as “Sender”. But there were some security risks in this method. I was able to give a phone number as “Sender” & it appears as that person at the recipient end. Basically there was a chance to send SMSs as a different person! I was actually using this to fool my friends.

But the new TRAI regulation insisted bulk SMS providers to restrict the “Sender ID” to 8 characters. Other three characters should be used to specify who is the service provider & where it’s originated from. Say for example: HDFCBANK sends an SMS to you using bulk SMS provider located at Tamil Nadu which uses Airtel. You will receive it as AT-HDFCBANK. First character specifies which service provider the message is being originated & the second character specifies from which location it’s originated. Here is the table which has details of these SMS codes:

Service Provider Codes:

So, combination of these two constitutes the first two digit of ?Sender? followed by an hyphen (-) & actual sender name.

Here is a question for you. How much spam can you get in a day? If I had to answer it, the number would be more than 180.

Day of the Spam!

Well if your blog or a website is high rated and gets lots of traffic each day then it could be normal for you. But this tragically is not the case with me. Mine is a simple blog with average traffic but then also getting this number of spam really amazed me. Thank god Akismet is for my rescue.

I have changed my domain name to karananand.uni.cc from karananand.co.cc . The difference is in the uni.cc and co.cc
