As noted during last month’s major MySpace outage, MySpace is a major Microsoft customer. In spite of (or maybe because of) that fact, MySpace parent Fox Interactive Media selected Google to be MySpace’s search provider. The multiyear search and advertising deal, which also covers some other Fox interactive properties, is worth an estimated $900 million. Guess Microsoft’s adCenter online-ad platform was still a little too unbaked for Fox’s taste.
