Microsoft Dealing With The Devil Himself!∞
Okay, I lied. It’s only Rupert Murdoch. But it’s still kind of accurate, right?
In short, Microsoft is in discussions to pay News Corp to remove their sites from Google’s index. Rupert Murdoch has been complaining for a while that Google has been stealing his content by indexing his sites, so it’s nice that he might finally put his money where his mouth is.
My prediction? If this deal goes through, the News Corp sites will leave Google’s index, most people won’t notice or care, and Microsoft and News Corp will both lose out.
