Though we mentioned this morning that YouTube’s overhauling its advertising system, another important point in the WSJ article is that YouTube will be running both preroll and postroll ads soon.
Okay, now for good news for Yahoo: they’ve signed an agreement with Getty to license images from Flickr users. Getty will contact users they’re interested in and give them a cut of any profits.
The Getty news has passed under the radar of many industry commentators but this is actually very exciting news for users, and the ‘cuts’ from licencing images for commercial use via Getty can be substantial. An innovative way to reward users AND get people to use Flickr more. I know I will
I would like to see microsoft and yahoo merger.. we will be able to see new and new things - good for internet Cars blog’s last blog post..Sony MEXR1 Car DVD Player Review
Microsoft clearly wants Yahoo hence why they keep coming back. The higher level strategy is there for us to only guess at, but we’ll never know the details. If Yahoo is to be competitive with Google it must be sold.

Oh yeah, the RWW article says 20-40%. But I have seen several mentions of this on other industry blogs.

For all those who would like to see MS and Yahoo merge, just be patient. It will happen. I give it another six months at the outside.
