Apparently, Google's VP Marissa Mayer had something to say about the search deal struck by Microsoft and Yahoo earlier this week at the AlwaysOn Stanford Summit in Palo Alto, Calif., according to
Stephen Lawson.
The effect of the deal is being debated across the tech industry, but Mayer suggests the deal reduces the three major players in the search market to two. This could lessen search innovation, leaving consumers and the search industry with limited choices. Mayer attended the AlwaysOn conference to join a panel discussion about innovation, where she talked about how Google develops and cultivates ideas.
