Yahoo will test Google AdSense in a significant departure from Yahoo's present ad strategy; Microsoft, which is hoping to acquire Yahoo, is worried the move may stifle competition.

Google is preparing to roll out its AdSense system on its popular Maps service, making it possible for companies to develop map-based applications and also reap advertising revenues from its geographic search services.
A war of words has broken out between an Australian "eco-friendly" search engine and Google.
