Microsoft’s example makes the truth about web services all the more obvious: Scale won’t magically solve a revenue problem. At some point, these services will have to implement a way to charge users and, as a result, the throngs of users will march away as quickly as they adopted.

its gonna take an outside gamechanger to set the MS bar. the sweat equity innovation hunger is missing.

Googl simple? algor jumbled results are nonsense with the tech we have today. the G stands for “garbled”. 99.9 percent of there search product inventory is cyberfat. where is the true structure and innovation?

game changers are on there way. G and M better find’em and follow’em and swallow’em before its too late.

I think cashback screwed their online business.
It’s a bad strategy to give money and ask people to use product.

They have to admit that Google is king in search and move on to improve their core.

here’s an idea. why doesn’t MS outsource its search to Yahoo! instead of the other way around? MS search sucks. always has. always will. Proof is in the pudding. how can you have such low market share in search when you own the dominant web browser that defaults to MSN.com?

Microsoft Job Cuts: Layoffs Good News for Economy
January 22, 2009 01:04 PM ET | James Pethokoukis |

So Microsoft says it is cutting 5,000 jobs, or 5 percent of its workforce. (Apparently that $21 billion in cash on hand isn’t burning a hole in its pocket.) Now no one likes to see people lose their jobs, especially in a tough economy when it is going to be tough to find another one. But I would bet that these job cuts are going to force a lot of people to find their inner-entrepreneur. These ex-Microsofties are going to end up starting a lot of small businsees that may eventually grow in size to become some pretty profitable companies
