I had not seen your post. Other wise I would have posted there. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3132#post-26505 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 16:26:31 +0000 LeKanaw 26505@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Hi Jaddis<br /> There is already a thread on this subject you started ;)</p> <p>I posted about this <em>2 week experiment</em> a few days ago.<br /> <a href="http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3076?replies=7#post-25880" rel="nofollow">http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3076?replies=7#post-25880</a><br /> Thank you for the update.<br /> Lets hope whatever happens, MS doesn't get their hands on Yahoo :(<br /> Peace, M </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3132#post-26503 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 16:16:05 +0000 Jaddis 26503@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Hey just ran a cross this article at <a href="http://dotnetwizard.net/." rel="nofollow">http://dotnetwizard.net/.</a> Check it out.</p> <p>"Last summer there was speculation that a bold step for Yahoo to take to revive its sagging prospects would be to ditch its own ad system and outsource it to Google. Despite Yahoo trying to catch up for many years, Google’s ad system just works much, much better. </p> <p>It would save Yahoo a ton of money and probably create better returns — even if it would help fuel Google too. However, Yahoo pretty much laughed off the suggestion… until now. Being aggressively pursued by Microsoft can have that effect — especially as white knight rescuers seem few and far between (i.e., they don’t seem to exist at all). </p> <p>So, with that, the news is breaking that Yahoo is finally going to test running Google’s ads. It’s a “small scale” test, only running for a couple weeks and only on a small percentage (less than 3%) of Yahoo’s inventory. But, assuming it goes well, it’ll likely lead to a much bigger shift.<br /> Of course, Microsoft was quick to denounce the deal, claiming that the Justice Department would have a field day over the antitrust issues raised, but so far Microsoft doesn’t have such a great track record in getting the DOJ to act on its antitrust complaints." </p>
