Yes. Don’t get a shock if I say Google, which today stands as the World’s most attractive employer and also rank one among the engineering companies was once hired by Yahoo (which was once its competitor too) to be its default search engine. Well, even I didn’t know about this and shocked too while I come to know. I was just going through Google History, actually timeline, I got an eye on ‘Yahoo! signs up for Google search’. I thought it would be a normal page about a small deal or something, but no it wasn’t! It was not a small deal. It created a lot buzz among the geeks that time, but I don’t think anyone does remember about it today. Do you? Not nah? That’s why I thought why not to share it among others.

The Deal between Yahoo! And Google

On 26 June, 2000 Yahoo! and Google announced that they have entered into an agreement that will make Google, which was one of the fastest growing Web company that time their default search engine from the next 30 days of the agreement. In my opinion, this agreement was what all made the Google Web what it is today. Yahoo! being ruler of that time integrated Google to their online products and made it famous among its users too, which also become a reason for others to choose Google as their favorite and look Yahoo! Search Technologies down upon.

Well, I think it one the best event in Web’s history as it made what all Google is today and needed to be shared with others. For the complete information about the deal, you can check the official press release. If you liked it please consider sharing it among others.
