Google vs Yahoo vs MSN all happenings

Yahoo once a close friend of google has started hiding total backlinks, when I did a search on yahoo I saw the total backlink count a little lesser than what it used to.

I used to do a lot of checks on yahoo .

Google on one hand has started expanding its lucrative Internet advertising network into the print world and on the other is testing a new SERP with multiple stage display. Is google going complex, I prefer google mainly due to its simple layout. I will prefer a simpler one rather than an AI based layout complicating my thoughts. I guess print media will give the PPC partners more mileage and click fraud free ad campaigning option.

MSN, the bills search engine is offering some new searching options and also new start.com.

Let the battle continue.

Tried the Google Talk

Today early morning I saw Sergey Brin’s Pic with their new IM and it was not too late when we started talking about it. I also got few invitation from known and unknown people.

I downloaded it from http://mail.google.com/mail/talk/download, the first thing it did was uninstall my gmail notifier. I tried to invite few guys but it said you do not have enough invitation available 🙁 .

Marketing gmail with GTalk and GTalk with GMail, not bad . “According to a person who has seen the service, Google plans to let users chat using more than just their keyboards. Like similar programs from competitors, Google Talk also will let computer users with a headset have voice conversations with other computer users with headsets, this person said. ”

Are they going to give a fight to skype, which says the whole world can talk for free. Lets see where they go , anyway I am for it.

Also you will see releasing a new piece of software from Google that could challenge both Microsoft and Yahoo, on various levels. The free program, known as Sidebar, presents consumers with a pane of customized information — such as weather forecasts, stock quotes, news headlines, text feeds from favorite Web sites, photo slideshows and email alerts — that sits alongside whatever else the user is viewing. It provides some functions similar to Yahoo’s popular MyYahoo customized Web-page service.
