Bing Amazon

The Business Insider has a source who claims that Amazon is in talks with Microsoft to be the partnered provider of shopping search results for Bing. The move comes after Microsoft announced they would shut down their “Cash Back” program on July 30th. The deal, as TBI puts it would give Amazon ownership of “the shopping results that are served up from Microsoft’s Bing search engine;” presumably, they would provide the top hits in the Shopping tab. No word on the monetary terms or timeline of the proposed deal.

    Why Bing? It isn’t as big as Google or even Yahoo. So why would Amazon go with Bing?

    Big strike against Bing as far as I’m concerned. If I choose a search engine, rather than Amazon, to look for a shopping item, I expect the results to be un-beholden to a single shopping site. Otherwise, what’s the point of using an ‘independent’ search engine?

    Bing’s search results are honestly crap.

      yup. microsoft went scratching where it didn’t itch…with the back side of a spoon.

      i added that last part because sometimes you can scratch where it doesn’t itch, and then it feels good and sorta begins to itch. but if you were to use the back side of a spoon, without trying to angle it too much, and without trying to rough it up a little bit at first, then you wont get anywhere. and people will look at you funny, and ask you what the hell you are doing. but regardless of your response, you are just going to look stupid.
