Re: MSN bot is going to  eat Yahoo! bot

Hi Davide :hug2:
I don't know to much about the technical side of it all. I personally don't like too much power concentrated. M$ and Yahoo have been too big before this deal, and together they are still too big, doesn't change much...
I think, we are on the same side when it comes to human rights, but things are more complicated. 
If Yahoo wasn't on the chinese market, Google or someone else would be there - and also to chinese conditions.
Worst case would be, they would only allow their own chinese searching machines. Whe would not even know, WHAT they filter, block and censor.
BTW, EVERY searching machine block content, ther are all censored in one or the other way. That's sad, but true...
Even the free an open souce ones like http://search.wikia.com/wiki/Search_Wikia (We're #1 there, too :lol: ) What can we do, as I said, it's complicated :eh:  :mmmh:
