Yahoo Hires Lap Dancers For Hack Day, Apologizes

F?id=4addc0af0000000000cfcfdc&maxx=335&maxy=251
The idea for the event was to attract third-party developers into building widgets for Yahoo.com and other Yahoo platforms. Whether or not any new widgets are on the way, judging by the pictures, we're certain lots of attraction happened. The company only got in trouble after it posted Hack Day winners and photos from the event on its Yahoo Developer Network blog.

Yahoo's idea to stop spam- 1 cent stamp donated to charity

Yahoo’s researchers want you to voluntarily slap a one-cent stamp on your outgoing e-mails, with proceeds going to charity, in a bid to cut down on spam. Can doing good really do away with spam, which consumes 33 terawatts of electricity every year, not to mention way too much of our time?

Blind Search

This tool lets you do a search simultaneously with Bing, Yahoo, and Google. You then tell it whose results you like the best. THEN it reveals the search engines. It's like blind coke/pepsi test.

Yahoo shuts down GeoCities, which it paid 5 BILLION DOLLARS for

ast week, Yahoo finally shuttered GeoCities, which it purchased for $5 billion in 1999. $5 billion is a remarkable number -- one that helps put some of the mistakes of the Web 2.0 era in perspective.

Yahoo Paid Bankers $79 Million For Blowing Microsoft Deal

Yahoo's bankers (YHOO), presumably, are of the view that they gave Jerry Yang the board great advice...which they then ignored. Which is plausible.

Is 80% market share for Google-Yahoo too much to be fair?

The gummint seems to think so. Today they quietly set up a little operation to investigate, led by a 'super lawyer,' Sidney Litvack The WSJ is reporting that "Litvack's hiring is the strongest signal yet that the U.S. is preparing to take antitrust action against Google and its advertising deal with Yahoo"

Jerry Yang faces shareholders today - Hero or Jerk?

He beat back Microsoft, beat back Carl Ichan, and in so doing, he kept his company. Oh yeah, and the stock price plummeted. Today he faces the shareholders.

Yuil, a cobbled together search engine beats Cuil, a $33M startup

If you don't know, Yahoo opened up their search engine to developers (build your own search service, or BOSS (yes, i know it's not quite an acronym)). Anyway, someone has cobbled together a Cuil look alike that, according to TechCrunch, seems to work better than Cuil. From the article "And while Yuil isn’t really doing anything new with its search results, they’re more relevant than the occasionally bizarre ones we’ve been getting from Cuil."
