Jeff Kagan says, "This could be the biggest marketing battle since MCI against AT&T, or even bigger. The volume will be turned way up on this one."
According to Kagan, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" is the best way to describe this deal of a partnership between Microsoft and Yahoo! against Google.
Kagan says, "The 'search' part of the Internet seems to reinvent itself every few years. The last major shift was the birth of Google several years ago. The big question is will this deal be the beginning of the next reinvention, or will it not make an impact?"
