6:28 AM Posted by Jason
On Wednesday, Microsoft Corp and Yahoo Inc have announced the 10 year web search deal. They have tied to curb Google’s worldwide search dominance.This deal was expected for long and now the Bing will be sole search engine for both the Yahoo and MSN. But the market is not at all happy with the deal. Yahoo shares have been fall by 12% as the investors were disappointed with the revenue sharing method and also with the lack of upfront payment. Google’s market price also down by 0.8%. Only Microsoft shares gave a bright face by advancing 1.4%.
According the deal now Bing will be the search engine for Yahoo site also. Yahoo sales team will work for the premium ad search selling.
This deal will not be effective right now it needs at least 2.5 years for getting the regulatory approval that means we have to wait for 2012 for the outcome of the deal. So lets hope for the best as Google is going to get its biggest contender in the name of Bing. Although still Google reigns at the helm as it is already having 65% search domination where as the Yahoo MSN combination is having only 28% search share in the world. Still lets hope for the best that Google is going to face its biggest threat in its reign.

Bad Credit
11:54 PM Posted by Jason
Sensible usage of your credit cards not only enables you to enjoy a high credit score but you stand a better chance of getting credit. The credit cards have played a significant role in creating the credit crunch in USA. If you do not use your credit cards judiciously your debts may pile up ultimately disrupting your financial stability. As long as you are making regular payments you have a stable credit score.Having a low credit score does not mean you have ruined your chances of getting credit again. There are a number of ways to repair your credit. You can get your credit repaired on your own or with the help of a credit repairing company.
Selecting the right debt solution depends largely on your prevailing financial condition. While a particular debtor may need just a credit counseling session, another debtor may have to go through the entire process of debt consolidation or may be debt settlement.
You may choose to solve your own debt problems. If this is the case, you can opt for the self repayment plan.
Self repayment
You are confident that you can get out of debt on your own. What you need to do is make a list of the debt accounts you have (if you have availed more than one loan) and take a note of the outstanding balance. Budget your expenses and try to curb unnecessary expenditure.
You may be intending to avail a loan to repay your already existing debts but this only leads to more burden. This is mainly due to the fact that sooner or later you will have to return the loan amount. It is best to opt for a credit repair program instead.
Get professional help
Take professional advice if you cannot decide which credit repair program will suit your needs best. When you hire the services of the credit repairing company, they work on your behalf and negotiate with the creditors. A repayment schedule is worked out and this allows you to make payments as per your convenience. By enrolling for a credit repair program you not only enjoy a lower rate of interest but also a lower monthly payment. In addition to this, you stop receiving calls from the creditors and the collection agencies. Your debts become more organized and in due course you become debt free and your credit score improves.
