Any service that has to pay you to use it over the competition is not a service that can stand on its own two feet.


nah they are just trying to gain market share because Google had a massive market before they entered.  They have actually been gaining on them as well.  They even passed Yahoo which has been around for much longer


Probably a good thing they didn't buy Yahoo because Yahoo is a sinking ship.  Their CEO that came back then rejected the Microsoft deal made a very idiotic move and should have sold right away.  He thought he could get more money but was rejected then I believe he tried to sell it for less than what Microsoft offered and no one was interested.  Their Yahoo Messenger which was a decent product up till about a few months ago when they closed all public chats.  Sure most of those public chatrooms were filled with bots but now the service seems dead (well at least to me) considering the very few friends I did have on it don't even use it anymore.  So Microsoft made a wise decision to not pursue Yahoo anymore (probably wasn't too wise to pursue them in the first place).
