Facebook's "one more thing" at today's Graph Search press conference? A search partnership with Bing. Naturally, Google was the elephant in the room after such an announcement, particularly in light of the fact that Lars Rasmussen has strong ties to the company by way of his connection to Maps and Wave. Asked why he opted not to take his business to Mountain View, Zuck told the crowd,
The main thing is that when people share something on Facebook, we want to give them the ability to broadcast things, but also retract them later, and have them be removed immediately. Microsoft was more willing to do things specific to Facebook.
We've reached out to Google to get its side of the story. We'll let you know what we hear.

Well done msft!

Well done MSFT??
WTF?
The MSFT love has gone over the top, lacking reason to find great things to brag about.
Look, its not like Facebook is going to use google as they are a major competitor, or even second rate search engines like yahoo or whatever.
It's not going to help msft in the long run at all, according to ycharts Microsoft averaged 5.5% growth year over year for the last five years, while google has averaged 25% . And MSFT isn't that much bigger at all, for those saying that MSFT is so large that it deserves to be considered a more mature company. It's not just google, apple is growing a lot faster than MSFT as well, and will up its game as its size gets even bigger.
Expect more mediocrity from this company and if you are an investor with anything but something like a tech fund or an index fund that will just include MSFT as part of a bundle of other stocks, then expect a poor return.

Sometimes i dont know if serious or just trolling.
MSFT blows Google out of water every single financials quarter :D
Only Apple is above them.
haha try harder.

Sure but this binary more/less kind of thinking doesn't really give the whole picture.
If you wanted to do that you could also look at the difference in the sales, profit numbers and growth rates to project when they would be equal, assuming any growth rate that sounds reasonable, or even multiple growth rates depending on your assumptions. Thats how the analysts do it, buddy. And if you did that and kept fairly reasonable assumptions about future growth rates, then you'd quickly see that google would have just one or two years to catch up to microsoft, and given the big disparity in growth rates we are seeing now, will likely jump past them after that.
Hope you learned something.
