The world is heading into a global recession. Will search companies like Google and Yahoo! come out as winners or losers?
Yahoo! announced that it would lay off 10 percent of its workforce this week. Is the search engine industry feeling the recession already?
There might be optimists out there that continue to believe that a global economic downturn can be avoided, but we do not belong to them.
When confidence in the market evaporates and people fear for their jobs, they will cut spending. Weakening sales will push more companies into the abyss, leading to more unemployment, less spending and so on and so forth. In short: There are tough times ahead.
Not all companies suffer during downturns. People still need basic goods like food. Department stores offering cheap clothing may thrive during a recession. The question is: Where are search companies like Google and Yahoo! positioned in this spectrum?
People will [...]

On Friday the economic crime unit of the Norwegian police raided the headquarters of Microsoft-owned Fast Search and Transfer in Oslo.
According to Dagens Næringsliv Fast has entered 90 million NOK into the accounts for an Australian deal that never existed.
Økokrim (the Norwegian National Authority for Investigation and Prosecution of Economic and Environmental Crime) has now confiscated several thousand documents in order to find out who knew about this so-called Telstra-deal.

Fast signed a memorandum of understanding with Australian Testra on December 21 2006, but this MoU was never turned into a proper sales agreement.
The theory is that Fast inflated its accounts, and thus made company look more profitable than it was, by including deals like this one. More than 100 million NOK worth of contracts were not real. At the same time as some 30 million NOK was apparently paid out to Fast directors as [...]

Accenture, Fast Search and Transfer and Microsoft establish a think tank for search engine technology development in Oslo.
Search technology trend surveillance
We recently heard one Google representative talk about Google’s biggest worry. It was not innovation from competitors like Yahoo! or Microsoft, mind you, but the possibility that there were other young geeks out there, working in a garage, preparing the next great leap in search engine innovation.
Which is why, the representative said — tongue in cheek — that Google tried to buy all new innovative search engine start ups in Silicon Valley.
Radical innovation is by its very nature an unpredictable process, and search engine companies need to have their ears to the ground in order not to identify the best talent. Google has, for instance, its own programming contests.
The Fast Innovation Center
Fast Search and Transfer has now established its own innovation center together with Accenture and the Accenture/Microsoft owned company [...]
