Microsoft and Yahoo! back Google
Yahoo! and Microsoft have given their support to a new technology designed by Google that will provide webmasters with an easy way to notify search engines about their websites.
Although the three companies are rivals in the search engine business, they are all backing the Sitemaps 0.9 and will work together on future enhancements to the protocol.
I think it's good to see rival companies collaborating for the advancement of technology and industry standards. A lot of times, it seems as though companies are too stubborn to work with their rivals,even though it would be mutually beneficial. Although, they each want to take control of the market; Google, Yahoo!, an Microsoft are working together to better provide for the webmaster's needs.
