Google, Yahoo, And MSN To Vie For MySpace

MySpace, the dominant social networking site, would like to partner with one of the Web's leading search engine companies. So said Peter Chermin, the chief operating officer of News Corp., which owns MySpace. According to Chermin, the leading search engine, Google - 43 million searches in April vs. 2.9 billion - but it's nothing to sneeze at, either. Cutting out the middleman and making a direct deal with a search engine provider should be a good move for MySpace. Of course, it remains to be seen which provider they'll partner with, and what sort of agreement the companies will reach. Add to document.write("Del.icio.us") | Yahoo!
