The future is bright for Twitter integration with Yahoo.  The only integration at this point, is Tweets into real-time Yahoo Search results, but this is only the beginning. Yahoo has already announced features coming soon. The list includes:

Yesterday both the Twitter and Yahoo blog published posts relating to the newly formed alliance. This was only the next step for Twitter. Just another sign that Twitter and real time information sharing is becoming an important part of search result offerings. Also goes a long way in further solidifying social networking and a true testament to its longevity.

On Thursday of last week Amvona covered the The New Dynamic [Search] Duo: Yahoo and Microsoft, which discussed the new deal between these two Web giants. So now that the deal has received the thumbs up from both the U.S. Department of Justice and the European Commission it is important to understand what will change for you and me (if either of us actually uses Yahoo).

It’s true. Although the deal is in its most infant stage, the duo announced today that the search agreement had received clearance from the U.S. Department of Justice as well as the European Commission. The changes are set to start in the next few days, but will continue to be an ongoing process.

The early days of the internet or as we called it way back when the " world wide web" saw heated debates as to the impact that online advertising would have to the fundamental ideas that the web was founded on. In the end the debate came down to simple economics of whether users would prefer to pay for subscriptions or be able to use the web freely. Early users of the web envisaged commercial enterprise entering the web as the "end of days" for their new found information super high way. 

The desire and need to preserve artifacts has predated our existence. Man has communicated by telling stories, through saving bits and pieces of history, by communicating through pictures or memories. Some call it nostalgia, others call it living in hyper-reality. Museums, arts and culture have always played a vital role in societies. In many ways they define and shape the personality of civilizations and give meaning to our existence.

Recently, Yahoo decided to assert its ownership of Flickr by tacking on "from Yahoo!" to the end of the traditional logo. Needless to say, Flickr devotees are not happy with this change. In response, several programmers have developed patches that do everything from cover the Y! to amp up the site.

Looks like Yahoo is making a grab at the market. This week the company launched a redesign that leaves some of us thinking: they're going to have to try a bit harder.

So by now you've probably heard that the Yahoo and Microsoft partnership went through. The MSM (main stream media) is widely agreed that this move is the companies' way of ganging up for the ultimate throw down with Google.
