More talking from Microsoft…quit it!
Battelle picked up on this story today that’s just hilarious! Here’s the release from Reuters, and here’s some excerpts from this genius at MSFT:
What we’re saying is that in six months’ time we’ll be more relevant in the U.S. market place than Google…The quality of our search and the relevance of our search from a solution perspective to the consumer will be more relevant.
So why are they bribing people to use their engine now? I wish I could link back to all the stories in 2004 and early 2005 when Microsoft was going on and on about it’s new search engines, how relevant it was and how much better it was than Google. Oh, and the huge advertising campaign that was all over TV last spring. But strangely enough, MSN was the only engine to continually decline in usage last year!
Listen, I’m all for competition and MSN becoming a legitimate search player, but you gotta stop this bloviating. Just do it, dude.
