Carol Bartz CEO Yahoo and Steve Balmer CEO Bing signs the agreement (via – Bing)

Okay, this is exciting news. The better guys teamed up, Bing and Yahoo, so we are looking at narrowing down on the competition, hopefully a bigger and better No.2 player to Google.

Bing, with its recent launch and buzz sure is turning heads and this time was successful enough in convincing Yahoo that they should work together.
Carol Bartz, CEO of Yahoo today said in their official blog that according to the agreement between Microsoft and Yahoo, Microsoft will become the search engine behind Yahoo! and we will become the worldwide exclusive relationship sales force for both companies’ premium search advertisers.

The agreement is only in the search segment and does not cover any other product from Yahoo (flickr for example). So this is awesome ! Looking forward to it. You can find more info about the deal here.

Google, what say now ?
