With Google releasing lots of new things in the last year, such as the new sitelinks. On top of Google’s new developments Ask have reintroduced Jeeves to help answer people’s questions and Wolfram Alpha is creating a lot of media attention with it’s alternative search methods – So it’s important for the other two main search engines Yahoo and MSN to keep up with the changing times.
Yahoo have announced in their official blog that their homepage is currently being tested with a new look which will be more customisable by region to try and make their users happier and liven up their look.
Microsoft have announced that Bing will be the new name of their search engine, replacing MSN and Live search. The name of the search engine revamp from Microsoft had been tipped to be Kumo but now it seems certain that the new search engine will be called Bing.com and will go live on 3 June. Mircrsoft are claiming that their new Bing search engine will provide better search results, with quicker more relevant search results being deliver. http://tech.uk.msn.com/news/article.aspx?cp-documentid=147625047
With Google steeling the show in terms of the market share they hold for search it is doubtful that any of these changes will really affect the way we do SEO.
