Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Microsoft, which lags well behind both Google and Yahoo! in the seach engine space, is trying its best to make up some ground with a new service specialising in searching for academic publications.
Windows Live Academic Search, which will be subscription based, is
using content from the peak academic and professional bodies such as
the ACM and IEEE.
Microsoft, which has been scouring the world looking for good search
people in recent years, appears to be up against it. unlike Google,
which has thousands of developers located all over the world dedicated
to the task of improving search technology, Microsoft has a team of a
few hundred located at Redmond.
As a result, Microsoft appears to be going backward fast in the search
space. It can take small comfort from the fact that Google's main
competitor Yahoo!is also slipping backward in market share.
Interestingly, or not, adding the drop in market share from Microsft
and Yahoo! almost exactly equals the gain in Google. In fact, Google's
share of the search market is now greater than Microsoft's and yahoo!
combined.
