Yahoo “Might Be Open” To Letting Google or Bing On Homepage
Joseph Tartakoff reported, “During an update on the status of the home page, Yahoo senior director Burke Culligan told analysts that the company was not opposed to letting users replace Yahoo search with Microsoft’s Bing or even Google.”
Culligan apparently explained, “Right now, we’re not doing that but long-term that may not be out of the question. We want to provide the best experience for the user and, in some way, if that was the best experience for the user we might be open to that.”
This led Kit Eaton to speculate that the proposed Microsoft-Yahoo deal is falling apart. Or perhaps Culligan was talking about what will happen after it expires in ten years. Regardless, his comments were rather striking, and we’ll keep an ear out for any denials or clarifications that follow.
