Microsoft may be cooking up a major Internet partnership to rival Google's newly bolstered relationship with AOL, according to a blog posting by a Microsoft manager.
Ian McAllister, a program manager for Microsoft's MSN division, said in a posting Wednesday that he had a meeting with "some senior players at another Tier 1 Internet company" who expressed interest in helping Microsoft compete with Google.
According to the posting, the company, which McAllister declined to name, spoke with Microsoft about the possibility of finding new ways to team with the Redmond, Wash., company to help advance its search and advertising business.
