Apparently so. Dont forget you can throw into the mix the likes of wordpress and yahoo answers as well – apparently both these should be going to the sword any day soon ..

Google and Yahoo marriage doesn’t include one illegitimate child

Posted in Domaining in general, tagged , , , , , on June 25, 2008 | 3 Comments »

As the ceremony and reception is being mapped out in the Sunnyvale / Mountain View marriage, the prenuptials have some interesting connotations for the domain industry.
Seems Yahoo search, their content and search partners will all be welcome into the Google house – all, it seems, except the Yahoo domain partners!
Word out today is that Google [...]

Is (or more importantly “will”) Google kill the domain channel

Posted in Domaining in general, tagged , , , , , , , on May 23, 2008 | 3 Comments »

Some time ago I posted derogative comments about domainers and how by them simply sitting on their derriers and doing nothing with their properties, the likes of Google et al were busy reclaiming the traffic and putting the squeeze on the domain channel. Recent reports just surfacing seem to suggest that my brief premonition wasnt [...]

The End Might Really Be Nigh

Certainly for all the Yahoo partners..! In one of the most eyebrow raising incidents I can remember since domain parking began, Yahoo last night announced they were conducting a 2 week trial to serve Google Adsense on 3% of their search queries.
Ok, not a great proportion of their overall capacity and a trial that won’t [...]

Dang, just when you thought the fight was over

Posted in Domaining in general, tagged , , , , , , , on February 27, 2008 | 6 Comments »

Why a Yahoo / Microsoft collaboration is good news for domainers.

Posted in Domaining in general, tagged , , , , , , , on February 2, 2008 | 3 Comments »

So Microsoft have once again come in for Yahoo for $44.6bn. In 2006 they made what, by all accounts, was a similar offer. At that time the Yahoo stock was trading much higher than of recent weeks and therefore a “not so great” deal for Yahoo’s shareholders. It was then a private takeover bid and [...]
