Doing a bit of memory, remember that Microsoft and Yahoo have signed a deal in which it was agreed that Bing, the form of the Redmond company, it would supply Yahoo search for a period of 10 years. In return, Yahoo would provide the infrastructure and logistics in the sales department, in addition to receiving 88% of the profits during the first 5 years.

This announcement was made public last December (2009) and although many took from that time as a fact, the truth is that trade regulatory commissions were debating the feasibility of such an agreement. Both bodies of the European Union and the United States extensively studied the implications of the alliance Microsoft - Yahoo.

Finally today gave its approval to the agreement, so the authorities have given their award for this union to operate formally. This means that Google will have a rival who is not very powerful but still has interesting things since there are contributions from two technology companies recognized. How successful will this union?, Nobody knows, but intense competition is expected to try to approach Google.

Although Bing has good things, especially in terms of user experience, Google is still king, and not just by name and being the monster he is, but by the quality results that are more relevant compared to other search engines . Whatever happens, it's good to know that Google will not always be the only dominant in the field of search.
