To improve the audience of Microsoft's Internet search engine, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates suggests using cash and various freebees as a lure.
A Microsoft spokesperson adds that it's a possible service, but that Microsoft has no plans to introduce it.
When a startup like Newsvine Inc., an online distributor of user-generated news, offers outright bribery to attract attention, it's one thing. It's generally understandable when GoodSearch, which uses Yahoo Inc. search technology, distributes a portion of its ad revenue to charities or schools selected by users.
