Murdoch-Microsoft deal in the works
The Financial Times is saying that Microsoft is ready to pay Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. to remove its news content from Google (no one tell Fox about robots.txt, please). The fact that this is a user-hostile strategy — users don’t keep track of which companies may be listed in which search engine — is right up Microsoft’s alley. Still, this doesn’t bode well for users who just want to find stuff.
