Get a room, guys! After months and months and months of courtship

Get a room, guys! After months and months and months of courtship that seemingly ended in tears and failure last year, Microsoft and Yahoo! are dating again? Does this mean we have to circle a summer date in our calendars for the wedding?The New York Times

reports (via Kara Swisher’s AllThingsD blog) that MSFT and Yahoo! are now exchanging hot-and-heavy messages about search and advertising partnerships. Steamy! But just to give a sense of the obstacles our two corporate lovers will face in the search domain, Swisher reminds us that:”Yahoo is the No. 2 player, with a much larger share than third-place Microsoft. According to recent surveys, for example, Google has a 63 percent share, while Yahoo has 20.6 percent and Microsoft 8 percent.”
