On today's edition of MarketFoolery, the daily podcast from The Motley Fool, we discuss the following topics:

Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) has a deal in place to provide English search results for Baidu (Nasdaq: BIDU). How much will it help Bing gain market share?
In the wake of a new tax law, Amazon.com (Nasdaq: AMZN) and Overstock.com have cut ties with thousands of California-based affiliates. Politics aside, was it a smart move?
Microsoft, Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) and Yahoo! (Nasdaq: YHOO) are reportedly among the potential bidders for online video service Hulu. Which company stands to gain the most from adding Hulu to its services? And with so many hot IPOs, why isn't Hulu's current ownership taking the company public?
