MSN to drop LookSmart search
Well, the battle over the search engine wars are starting to come together...I can see that we're looking at the big three to claim ownership of the net due to the huge popularity of Pay Per Click (PPC). Here's a snipit:
SEATTLE, Oct. 6 — Microsoft Corp.’s MSN division will drop its contract with Internet search firm LookSmart Ltd. in January, marking a new stage in the software giant’s long-term plan to develop its own search tools.
Shares of LookSmart plummeted $1.74, or 58 percent, in extended trading Monday on the Nasdaq Stock Market, after closing the regular session at $3.02. Microsoft shares rose 11 cents to close at $29.19 on the Nasdaq.
