    2004: Microsoft Dominates All SEs

    Why hasn't MS bought up Teoma and/or Vivisimo and put its massive brand power behind a system that is as good or better than google at relevant search results?

    Seems to me they would own the search engine space within a year...

    Thoughts? Anecdotes? Insider Information?
    Inquiring minds want to know.

      MS is building their own SE to kill Google
      I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
      I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

          I have no doubt they CAN do it, and I wouldn't be surprised if Gates is boiling over at his lack of dominance in that space, but when in the history of microsoft have they gone with a build over a buy approach?

          They bought DOS, stole Windows, bought IE, etc...
          Seems like they could buy teoma and rebrand it in 2 days.

                                  M$ will definately move in on Google, probably this year already and dominate the SE market in 2005/2006

                                      Yeah, I heard Google was in talks with Microsoft a few months ago.

                                              Search engines come and go. Google does not have lock.

                                                      If they launch a real SE, will Webpower still have all adult terms via Nightsurf?
