Microsoft will begin paying searchers who use Microsoft Live Search and complete a transaction. Think of it as a rebate. This is either:

A) Genius - right up there with the wheel and sliced bread

B) Idiotic - equivalent to the “make your own change night”

C) Meh - feed mayo to the tuna

The more I think about this, the more I think it is a vowel. I know what I am going to do next time I need to buy something big. What will get interesting is if it works and Google decides to counter. This is yet another nail in the coffin for the local retailer.
