Though the mini-partnership is cute and we're sure they'd make a fun but powerful couple, don't make any assumptions about their intentions yet. As much as Google would like to get in that pair of pants, Yahoo will only support AdSense in up to 3% of all search results for now. If AdSense does what it promises to do -- make more money than Yahoo's advertising services -- the two companies should enter into a more committed relationship.
It feels like Yahoo's just giving up, but you can't blame 'em. Google's an innovative monster, and how do you compete with that? I guess if you can't beat 'em, catch a ride on their coattails.

So much for Yahoo!'s Panama Project.
Now I wouldn't say AdSense is super innovative, considering all the click-ad fraud there's going on, but it is nice.
I wonder how adCenter's doing.

Sounds to me like Yahoo! is trying to make allies against Microsoft and their hostile takeover threat...

If Google and Yahoo were to get together I wonder what they'd call the new company.....Goohoo! or Yagle
