Yahoo CEO underestimate Bing says it can't change search patterns

NetEase Science and technology news Beijing time June 4 According to Reuters, in Wednesday, Bartz said at the U.S.-China Conference on Technology and Science, "Yahoo and Microsoft reached a search agreement, in the scale can bring great benefits, and can save up to 700 million dollars in costs."

Bartz also revealed specific ideas about the deal, but she believes Yahoo does not need to work with either party to fight Google, even though it accounts for more than 64% of the U.S. search market. She said she did not think she had heard of Microsoft as a better company.

This is also the second time Bartz has published a statement on the search agreement with Microsoft. Last week she said at the all Thing Digital conference that the search agreement had to be made by partners with sufficient funds and good technology. Bartz also underestimated Microsoft's new search brand Bing, and said the engine would not fundamentally change the competitive dynamics of the search market.

She said Microsoft would not expand its search business because of Bing, and that users would only be interested temporarily. Asked how much it would cost to save by signing a search agreement with Microsoft, Bartz said the cost savings would not be more than $5.7 billion trillion. (Mushulin)
