By now you have probably seen the exciting news about our agreement with Yahoo!. We are totally fired up to be partnering with such a great set of folks, and look forward to seeing what we can achieve for customers by working together to bring a strong #2 into the search space. This is great news for Bing and is a great accelerator to the work we are already doing. The scale Bing will get through this agreement will enable us to learn, experiment and innovate faster for consumers and advertisers.
The result will be more relevant search results and advertising, which is great for everyone. Working with Yahoo! we will be able to do so much to advance the search experience, and we cannot wait to see the partnership come to life.
For more info you can check out Yahoo! CEO Carol Bartz’s blog post, visit our joint website or check out this twitpic of some of the festivities today.

Finally the near monopoly will stop! The Choice Value Innovation article is very detailed. It's a great deal and I love it so much.
So, this makes Yahoo Search more or less a Meta search engine that mines its data from Bing?
Congrats Bing!!!
Congrats Bing!
My sites rank well in Yahoo and Google, but modestly in Bing. Will Bing shut down the loopholes others are exploiting?
I hope it really does help Bing. On the other hand, I'm worried if these users will simply switch to another search engine, because they don't like Microsoft for some asinine reason, and would never want to touch Bing. But at least I'm thinking the Bing team is hard at work already, improving their search technology and incorporating more features as the deal moves on.
I'm guessing the only real noticiable change for users is Yahoo! Search is being replaced by Bing Search for at least 10 years?
Good luck. Keep improving!
Congratulations Bing! You deserve to be No. 1.
That's really a great- great news! Congrats Bing! Now hope Bing will be no. 1!All the best!
Congratulations Bing! Keep improving!

Very exciting news loved live serch now called bing!!!! If only this deal meant i could have a flickr account through my live account without the need of a yahoo mail, Keep up the good work guys don't let google slip through!!!!
Keep growing Bing n Microsoft......
Its great that even some core google community is discussing this deal ( Ref : googlewavecommunity.com/.../viewtopic.php ). Yahoo has a long list of followers already and the recent Bing is also doing good. I used to check all the three (GYB) bcoz different result set. Bing’s result set was more or less similar to Google whereas Yahoo offers some different and more authoritative source of information. Now the fear is I’ll lose one set !!! But if the Big G monopoly is challenged I’ll be happy. In this respect I’d like to mention that if Yahoo+Bing try to be our (small developers) friend then they’ll do good in long term. Product like small biz website pack from a giant like Yahoo is not at all welcome. Google is more of a friend here with Google Apps n all. At the end of a day its not really how good result set you offer (of course not a failure like Cuil), its how friendly U r to small developers like us.
A Fact : Small developers do not talk much about Bing though it offers good result. Do U know why ? Its bcoz Microsoft is a money machine and does not offer anything for free… even an Adsense competitor !!!

I think this is a very exciting move for the entire search industry. I'm sure this will lead into more ventures between the two giants.
I have been watching this intently. I hope it brings the goods as expected by all
