Yahoo! & Google: And The Little One Said..
Yahoo’ announcement that it was rejecting Microsoft’s long-running attempt at a take-over came as a bit of shock. Just 2 weeks ago an MSN staff member was telling me that the deal was all but done and that when Yahoo! had finished grabbing headlines then both companies would get down to business and put together […]
Is There A Company That Yahoo! Isn’t Merging With?
First Microsoft approached Yahoo! about a merger/take-over. Then Google gave the guys at Yahoo! a call to see if maybe they could hook up.
And whilst Information Week thought that Nokia would be the perfect partner for Yahoo! lots of other people think that they should consider getting together with AOL. But of course that was […]
MSN Buying Yahoo?
This isn’t really post, just a note as this news could have a potentially huge impact on the whole internet economy.
Microsoft has made a bid to buy Yahoo!, valuing Yahoo! at $45 billion (which makes a $15 billion valuation for Facebook look even more far-fetched). It may well be that this is coming off of […]
Changes To Yahoo! Show That SEO Isn’t Just About Keywords
The last week has seen major changes to the way that Yahoo! presents its search results. In many ways these changes are a response to Google’s move to, what it calls, Universal Search.

Google, Facebook, Yahoo!, MSN & MySpace: Everything’s Connected In Web 2.0
One of things I love about the internet is the fact that I am constantly finding new sites that I love and also, that I am constantly challenged, and often proved wrong.
I’ve been telling anyone who would listen (following a conversation with my colleague Chungaiz) that Facebook would be sold this year for $1 billion. […]
Some Perspective On Yahoo’s Chase Of Google
e-consultancy reports on the latest Hitwise stats showing that in 2006 Yahoo! increased its share of the UK search market by 13% to 8.6%, with the headline:
Yahoo! shows biggest UK search share gains.
Which is fine.
But with Google also increasing its share to a staggering 78%, it’s like me writing an article on how recent promotions […]
Bank Holiday Search Round Up
Well, the bank holiday is almost upon us, but before we at eyefall leave the office to tend to gardens and the like, we thought we’d give you or view on the big stories in search right now.
Yahoo! to be bought by Microsoft? We first saw this story early today and didn’t think it was […]
Mobile Search Is Here & Yahoo! Are Ready To Go
Here at eyefall we can’t get enough of mobile search. Whilst every week brings a new pronouncement from somewhere on the web as to what the next ‘big thing’ will be, we’re convinced that it’s mobile search.
As phone screens get bigger, networks get stronger, and the technology keeps improving, we just can’t see how it […]
UI! Possibilities! (Yahoo Photos)
10 Cool Things About The New Yahoo! Photos: Yahoo’s new photo site sports some neat visual effects–not only drag and drop, but grouped drag and drop, fancy placeholder effects, etc. (Watch the first screencast!) It’s all JavaScript (though apparently it doesn’t use Yahoo’s user-interface library).
I’ve been playing around with some Ajax/JavaScript libraries recently, […]
