Chris Winfield in Newsday: ‘Yahoo-Microsoft merger could benefit Web users’ |

Last week I spoke to Richard Dalton from Newsday and gave him my thoughts on Microsoft and Yahoo coming together for a story he was doing. The article ran in today’s paper and can be seen here. Here are my thoughts from the piece:
Chris Winfield, president of 10e20, an Internet marketing company based in Fleetwood, agreed that neither Microsoft nor Yahoo can effectively compete individually against Google.
Microsoft’s search capability is a few year’s behind Google’s, while Yahoo’s search engine is good but lags Google’s as well, he said.
“Personally, I would much rather have two really strong options than just one really good option and then two OK ones.”
Rich ends the article with the most recent news about Yahoo! turning Microsoft down (for now): Even though Yahoo’s board has rejected Microsoft’s initial offer, some experts believe Microsoft will inevitably work out a deal to obtain the company and then deal with an issue the software giant is familiar with antitrust.

If you can’t beat them somewhere, beat them somewhere else. Find an area where you can excel in and go with it.
After much waiting and anticipation, and at 3pm Pacific today, Yahoo will officially launch their
