Baidu to integrate Bing results

[vinism]

Baidu, which dominates the Chinese search engine space with about 75% of the market share, has inked an interesting deal with Microsoft, according to Investor's Business Daily. When users are searching Baidu for English-language data, Baidu will return Bing results.

This is a huge deal for Microsoft and Bing. China is one of the few places Google is not a dominant player.

Bing is by far Google's biggest search competitor, and Facebook is probably their overall biggest threat. The fact that facebook integrates with Bing and not Google, and now Baidu is getting is the mix, seems like they are all strategically positioning against Google. No one company can take them down, but the combination of these giants is interesting to say the least. I wonder what comes next...

Bing is starting to give google quite some competition, especially considering their integration with facebook and now with baidu.
