MSN search loads up slow, is Ugly, and hard to find what you want

If MS takes over yahoo and facebook, and makes it so google cant search facebook, It’ll be a blessing to google.

How many people really want 20,000 pages of self obsessed peoples profiles showing up when they are searching for something useful.

A game changer would be:

a) Integrate MS Searches like local into FB, integrate it with beacon and make it socially aware via geo tagging. This helps Facebook with their CPM because paid search… erm… pays.

b) Make the search much more prominent in the user workflow, getting millions of people to use it daily. Chat is a good example of how facebook is moving in this direction of a portal for the consumer.

c) Bring social ties to the OS — address books, chat clients, and more integration in Windows 7.

This allows Microsoft a competitive advantage over Google because people are ON FB right now. They don’t have to suck eyeballs away to their property. For the consumer, this undercuts going to Google search directly provided that FB/MS can make their search viable and prominent enough.

Microsoft controls Facebook and Yahoo Ads. This call this new entity, “the devil”.

precondition: openID is common. GPS capable phone.

Facebook is a collosal silo for user behavior, and a platform for developers and businesses to cultivate brands.

The devil monitors user behaviour in conjunction with ‘Fan pages’, sharing, and searching use cases.

Let’s assume Gap is a partner with the devil.

Now let’s suppose from its inconspicous monitoring, the devil knows from your behaviour on Facebook that you have a penchant for blue gap shirts as oppose to red, since you became a Fan of the Gap, spend more time looking @ blue gap shirts ads, or clicked on an ad that had a blue gap shirt,

Now let’s say you’re in the vicinity of a Gap store, say within 1km^2, and access the devil’s search feature (Yahoo or Facebook), or its content sites using your openID. Your GPS location is recorded. The devil knows who you are, where you are, thus your interests and taste, and proximity to centers of fulfillment. Moreover, it knows that within that 1km^2 area there are x% of the area’s population who prefer blue gap shirts to red. The devil relays this information to a GAP server. A GAP process determines that based on the percentage of people who prefer blue shirts, some process business logic, the window display should now have blue shirts as oppose to red. It signals the store manager to do so.

You walk by the GAP store, and notice all the beautiful blue shirts on display. YOu head in, and perhaps buy one.

Now lets generalize this use case to more partners.

The devil generates revenue if its adds value to the ROI of its partners from this telepresence hyper target marketing.

Google might be the database of intentions, but the devil and its predictive strategy, preempts your intentions, and offers you the next best alternative.

Oh snap. Google.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all about openness but I like Facebook as a PR/social tool, not a personal advertising venue.

Facebook, Yahoo!, Xobni.

Xobni plugged into Yahoo!’s email extracts and can be used to grow the userbase of the next great platform for Microsoft: Facebook.

Facebook’s & Yahoo!’s exposure would be unmatched to Google’s. Google would be a 1.5 trick pony: search and gmail. F&Y! would be the Internet’s desktop and would even be willing to add google search as a plug-in…or maybe not

Nobody trusts M$ and their monopolistic behaviour
