And so, it appear that the Live.com has taken its permanent place among the icons of the Internet. In short, MSN Search is no more.

This is a great deal for the folks over at Microsoft. Seriously, I mean is there any real question that allowing this ad deal to go through would be great for both companies?

AOL has a craptastic record in general, so the fact that researchers are less than excited about wanting to use their search logs should come as no surprise.

Google is getting into the coupon business, even if many of us are growing a little leery of this move.

From search engine to everything engine, Google is now running as a WiFi service, too!

Serving as a search engine for MySpace is not small deal, let me tell you.

AOL does it again with leaked search engine queries. No rest of the unfortunate I suppose…

Blogger has been unchained in China recently. Still, there are still a number of problems that remain in question.

What is Yahoo really up to and will it really affect any of us in the literal sense.

Is there such a thing as search engine math? You bet and this piece below does a nice job at explaining how this goes down.

Can Technorati regain some status for themselves? Even more, could they one day become the dominant player, even surpassing after the search engine giant launches their blog search engine?

As much as it disturbs me to say it, there is no sign of Baidu’s earnings slowing down anytime soon as they once again, post some outstanding earnings for the second quarter.

I am shocked! You mean that people actually find themselves getting ticked off when access to content is being filtered by a company who promises to “do no evil”? Why who’d thought? Right…

Now it is public knowledge that Yahoo has openly yielded to Google in the search arena. OK, nothing wrong with that. But how does this effect the efforts to keep traffic coming to Yahoo’s other services? They do have some great stuff, but is it enough to keep people returning?

And so Java and Ajax do work together rather than against each other! Don’t believe me? The proof is at the helm so to speak…

Yes, Google Trends again. This time we learn which southern city enjoys their adult entertainment more than others across the US.
It may seem silly to you, but it makes you stop and think regardless….

Cool, it appears that we may soon have a new descriptive for the dictionary - AJAXify. Wild, eh? And with Adobe getting to the mix with their Spry AJAX framework, we may soon be using that previous descriptive more often than we might expect!

Man, you just have to love it. Only in the 21st century can you buy a Web business from another Website! Seriously though, it looks as if this search engine creator might be on to something: Creating Web businesses and then selling them over eBay?

An interesting choice for IBM I think, this niche for their latest search related endeavors. Assuming everything works as it should, this could be a terrific tool for those in need!

That tears it, it is the week to sue search engines! Not poking fun anyone here, just pointing out that both Google and Yahoo appear to be having a tough time of it.
