I could have tied this in quite nicely with a line about how our new service will make marketing help so easy, people might think it’s an April fools joke. It’s now the second of April though so I guess it voids that angle.

I’m not very good at the normal jokes, nevermind the April ones…

Anyway. Mix n’ match is our latest marketing service. Instead of having a large marketing report or consultancy campaign; mix n’ match allows you to buy bespoke, expert help reports on specific subjects. This makes marketing consultancy help easier than ever before, and amazing value for money too.

A new search engine has been launched within the last few weeks which I believe gives an insight into how the Internet is evolving.

Searchme is a search engine which provides a visual image of the website as a list of results. It’s kind of like the Iphone album menu - you can browse through a list of screenshots so you’re able to see the website before you click it. Check the video out on the website to see what it’s like.

Google is already complaining about the potential sale of Yahoo to Microsoft. Can’t blame them for giving it a go though really - any attempt at holding off potentially major competition is understandably a good thing in their eyes.

Will it work? Well Microsoft have had a bad history of getting into trouble for anti-trust and anti-competition laws. Whilst these recent events don’t fall under the same category of industry, the bare rules still stand. I do believe it will take a significant amount of investigation to consider the negative potential of this Internet portal monopoly. This is even more true when you consider the number of services associated with these two companies, including instant messaging and E-mail.
