new Era of Alliance or Merger

  • Posted at 2006/05/30 18:53
  • Filed under trends
There are 3 major newsmakers in the Internet or PC industry, which are Google, Yahoo and Microsoft.

You can easily name the related vigorous movements such as Google - Dell alliance, Yahoo - ebay alliance,  past acqusitions such as skype and flickr, MS - ebay rumor, the courtship toward myspace and so on.

As of now Google seems to hold the initiative of the game based on their search engine. But, Yahoo has been responding fairly well by specializing the UCC(user created content) and SNA(social networking application) sector.  It is very interesting to enjoy the competition between these two Internet giants.

But, from the very beginning of Google's business MS was located at the center of google's end target. Recent alliances are all about the impending huge matches to break out soon. At first MS pretended not to be affected by the emergence of Google, but now MS seems very annoyed by the existence of Google. In some sense, Google has replaced the role of Scott of Sun Microsystems with very powerful weapons.

Google is eating MS step by step with very well-designed strategy and MS is also preparing many counter-blows. If MS may succeed in abandoning its obsolete rule of game, which was based on the concept of monopoly, the game will become more interesting. If not, the game will be very dull.

Regardless of the arguement whether Google will continue to prosper in terms of market share or revenue, the game seems inevitable and MS's regime already became obsolete.

Who will be the final winner? One of them or none of them or Individual users ? Let's see.

Wallop, a kind of SNA(Social Networking Application) with searching and a internal project of MS's social computing group, has been spined off according to TechCrunch.
They says its another feature is photo sharing.

Just imagine the service by some screenshots available.
At a glance, it looks just like a mixture of blog, flickr, orkut, friendster, myspace.........
