Marketing Pilgrim

I’m finally in Chicago and don’t have a whole lot of time for blogging - which will give me the shakes by the end of the day!

Anyway, here’s what caught my attention today.

• Yahoo announces a major reorganization so that it can become more customer focused. Chief Operating Officer Dan Rosensweig and Yahoo Media Group chief Lloyd Braunare among those leaving.
• Search Engine Land has links to all the SES Chicago coverage.
• Google drives another nail in PayPal’s coffin with the announcement that they will process payments for free until the end of 2007!!
• ValueClick decides it too needs to get in on in-stream video advertising.
• Microsoft releases its own version of book search.
• Avenue A | Razorfish has released a study looking at how analytics can help search marketers.
• Neil Patel is also pissed that Elinor Mills took his comments about Digg and used them for evil.
• Danny Sullivan has announced the launch of Search Marketing Now (for webcasts) and will also have a new conference - Search Marketing Expo - in Seattle this June. Sign me up Danny!
• Brian Clark’s Copyblogger is named #1 in a Top 10 list of blogs for writers.
• Honestly, that’s not me getting sucked into the new Hatbait campaign, it’s just an unfortunate soul that looks like me.
