in What will Google do with Yahoo Search? on Vinny Lingham's Blog
Yahoo! just don't get Search.. Good post Vinny!
One thing I thought I read was the deal only applied to Yahoo! in the US and Canada?
This will in affect mean that they still do not gain from the Global reach and once again prove that they don't get it.

If everyone had a website? What about if everyone had food?
I think the reality is that not everyone will have a website let alone internet access. Additionally for some people the opportunity cost in setting up a website and the benefit that it would bring is minimal.
I guess the point is that every business that has their phone number registered in the phone book should consider having a website. But having said that having a poorly built website may in fact be worse than not having a website at all as the perception could be that the business is not up to standard so this could be a double edged sword.
What can be said though is that the use of the Internet is becoming more individualised. People now have emails and profiles of themselves on websites like Facebook etc. and most businesses have websites.
But it may be that everyone and every business in the world does not become involved in the internet.

in Google to start charging for search queries - Pay Per Search on Vinny Lingham's Blog
This should be about April Fool link bait. Why people put so much effort into April stories and the link bait it creates?

in Two wrongs don’t make a right… on Vinny Lingham's Blog
Personally I think if MSN search gets in control of this it will be better for search competition.
Yahoo! search has failed and they don't seem to offer support to their publishers or advertisers. Strikes me that they work in silo's and don't want to spread the best of breed across the globe. They continue to focus on the states and leave the rest of the world behind.
Lets see what happens I'm pulling for Microsoft.

in Facebook valued at $15bn - raises $240m from Microsoft on Vinny Lingham's Blog
Its questionable if the value really is $15 Billion since this was a deal done because of the advertising deal Microsoft got out of it. So its a bit of a bribe..
