Pilgrim’s Picks for November 20 - Mountains Edition

Today’s Pilgrim’s Picks come from the beautiful mountains of North Carolina. If you’re never visited the Blue Ridge Mountains, then you’ve missed out on the type of scenery you can rest your eyes on.
Before I head out on a hike, I found these great news stories to share with you today.
- We mentioned Viddler’s video tagging tools last week, and now TechCrunch reports the company will advertisers to add their ads as tags too!
- It seems like a smart move by AT&T to buy pay-per-call company Ingenio and integrate its service with AT&T’s local search and directory business.
- Is Skype for sale and is Google considering buying it?
- Google’s market share topped 64% in October. Yahoo & MSFT both dropped, while Ask gained.
- Online classifieds search engine, Oodle, has a new look and new tools.
- Firefox 3 is out in beta. It has a lot of cool new features, but a few bugs too, so you might want to wait a while.

Having just moved over here to SC from San Diego I sure do know what you mean about the wonderful scenery. I lived in SD for 7 years and never saw a leaf change. After a while it really bothered me.

Viddler’s tagging based advertisement may work, but those ads dont have to appear inside the player, below player may work as well, if user is interested s/he will click anyway.

Do you think Google buying Skype would make world wide PC to phone calls free? I’m sure they would find a way to make a bold move like they did with the purchase of Urchin.
I hike the Blue Ridge Mountains too! Have you ever been to Yonah Mountain in Cleveland Georgia? Thats where I learned to climb and repel.

@Dean - strangely they didn’t make the list.
@Jeremiah - I would imagine they would.
