*rubs hands together in video-y anticipation* Man, now I really hope MSFT doesn't buy Yahoo.

I see I'm not the only one salivating over this.
Yahoo, for the most part, has been great at knowing what their users want and giving it to them. If the Microhoo does happen hopefully more of Yahoo would rub off on Microsoft than the other way around. If that were to happen then I'm OK with acquisition. I think the competition will be good for the search space.

Whoa...I'm definitely looking forward to seeing this!
Speaking of Yahoo and Flickr, I recently did an image search on Yahoo and was surprised to find photos from personal flickr accounts included in the results. Naturally I'd be the last person to catch this, since I spend more time on Google these days, but when did Yahoo make this sudden change???

Actually even prior to Yahoo buying Flickr you could see personal images in the results pages for Yahoo and Google under the images search feature. This is actually why Yahoo more then likely had the insight to buy Flickr. They probably saw all the traffic they (Flickr) were getting from people search for images on the Yahoo site, and fugure it was smart to buy this company. I think it was one of the best Acquisitions besides WebJay they did. Unfortunanetly they couldnt monitize on webjay fast enough before people like LastFM swooped into the space and most people havent even heard of WebJay!!
