A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Are we looking at a future where we need a search engine to tell us which search engine to use for your queries?

I think we’re looking at a future where Google ensures we don’t ever have to worry about making such a choice.

Microsoft is working very hard at getting into this data game. Don't think they won't try making similar deals.

The more players capable of making such deals, the less valuable such deals become. So I saw go for it Microsoft and I hope the landscape gets further and further fractured to the point where exclusivity deals don’t work out for the sites.

No, don't worry. The AI will pick one for us.
