"The deal announced Monday represents Diller's bet that he can transform a second-tier search engine into a more formidable threat to industry leaders Google Inc. and Yahoo Inc., much like he built the once-irrelevant Fox television network into a major media player in the late 1980s and early 1990s."
TV is a lot different than the internet. Esspecially with search engines because people only go there because of the results the produce not for entertainment value.

I think you might be wrong there. The first time it occurred they didn't know how to handle it in the stock market. Now they have a lot more experience and know a little more on how to price shares, etc. Will be very interesting.
