Google ad deal - Yahoo!

When it seemed that after the rejection of the bid from Microsoft to Yahoo! things could return to a normal situation, a new movement has convulsed again this tranquility, and is that Yahoo appears to be a very tempting candy.

Although this time it is not Microsoft, who have already had enough, But we are talking about another online giant: Google .

And is that Google has reached an advertising agreement with Yahoo! for Google to sell advertising on Yahoo! searches by placing Adsense on those searches.

This agreement, Yahoo! will allow an opportunity to generate annual sales of up to $ 800 million, has an initial duration of 4 years renewable every 3 years, and show only the results advertising Google on searches for Yahoo! in the U.S. and in Canada.

But what really is this agreement?, Because without going deeply into details, is many things, and some not so good.

1. I hope that Yahoo! have very clear they want to pursue the strategy, because although it appears that the agreement is not very axfisiante, Yahoo! and leaves some leeway when it comes to when and how much advertising display, virtually cedes to Google your piece of the pie on advertising online, because how you manage to advertising with Yahoo!, being able to do with Google?. Nosé why, but I feel that these have been able to Yahoo! over their hatred of Microsoft (even when properly assess the takeover bid), that the benefits of the agreement.
2. Of course, Google is the ultimate beneficiary of this agreement, because as Peter Grifin say in Family Guy, this according to Microsoft is like a "Zas!, Across the mouth"
3. If the Microsoft takeover of Yahoo, many said that in the online advertising pie and only have two competitors, Google and "Microhoo" (to give a name to the resulting company), this movement is Not an almost monopolistic online advertising market?, Microsoft thinks so, and therefore has already complained . Curious that the "king" of monopoly monopoly complain, hehe.

But like Google are not stupid, and know the punch that they have, then have rushed to defend the agreement , noting among other things, that the agreement:

• This is not a merger. But only seeks to facilitate access your Yahoo! advertising technology through AdSense.
• It does not eliminate a competitor. This means that Yahoo! will continue to participate in the online advertising business, and that despite the agreement, yahoo! You can use Google's technology as you want, whether much or little.
• Yahoo! does not prevent to reach similar agreements with other companies
• Does not increase the share of Google's search
• Will not increase by Google, the price to advertisers, although this is less clear

Thus, we see that the future offers us on the status of online advertising following the agreement and the trio of companies Google-Yahoo!-Microsoft.

Google Logos

Have long wanted to have written about something that I really like Google, and that may seem a mere detail, it's funny and I like: Your logo.

And, as I suppose ye shall have laid down, the logo of Google is not always the same, but that is dynamic, and often, is amended to refer to different events.

Google usually modify your logo on any significant event occurs, or is the celebration of some event in the development of humanity, or some other circumstance worthy of mention. Obviously, over the years there have been many logos , some true works of art and would be almost impossible to cover everyone, so the reason for this post, is to review those that have come out recently and I personally liked to see that you look and whether or not coincidís me in its beauty, .

Indeed, as curious, to say that these logos are designed by the Korean artist Dennis Hwang since back in July 14, 2000 conduct the Memorial logo Bastille Day

And without further ado, let's see the logos that recently caught my attention most of the celebrations or events that Google considered it appropriate to review:

Firefox 3

Yesterday saw the worldwide release of the browser Mozilla Firefox 3 in the so-called Download Day 2008 with the addition was intended to break the world record for downloads exceeding 5,000,000 downloads in one day, make your own conclusions watching the real-time counter . At the moment, when the 20:34 Spanish time, have more than 8,000,000 and up, considering that downloads were available from 19:00 Spanish time of 6.17.08.

As was natural, was not naturally good, because if you organize something of this caliber, you must be prepared for it, Mozilla's servers could not withstand such a flood of downloads and were offline a long time, but hey, it just bad luck, and you can download without problems Firefox 3 for different platforms (Castilian versions):

• Download Firefox 3 for Windows
• Download Firefox 3 for Linux
• Download Firefox 3 for Mac

Perhaps, "the glue" that can annoy more updating earlier versions of Firefox to 3 may be that some extensions you use, temporarily stop working until they are updated, although you can use, this trick (via Microsiervos) for does not happen. I'm not going to do, since only 1 extension fails me all I use, and I is essential, so not bad right?. But beware, using this trick is your responsibility, because as they say in the post: "With this Firefox will check whether the installed extensions are compatible with the version that is running, but beware, this may make Firefox do strange things, so use at your own risk. If you have many extensions installed, it is better than go uninstall them and adding little by little until you see that all is well. "

Still, worth changing to the new version as it is much faster, improves memory management and use, provides greater performance and add new features, but because they are enough, perhaps better than you see them on the page Mozilla (Firefox Development Company).

And finally, if the first time you hear of this browser, personally I would recommend you to give him a chance and could prove it, I did, and I have not already use another browser.

Yahoo! rejects Microsoft's bid definitely

Although he has spent time in the news, I think it should finish what you start, and since at the time spoke of the bid that Microsoft had made ​​to Yahoo! think it's necessary to comment on the news although they have already happened makes a time.

What happened after Microsoft Microsoft launched the takeover was that Yahoo! rejected . Although it did not stop there, far from being intimidated and Microsoft, launched a new offensive in which he implied that if they failed to prosper friendly negotiations employ other strategies less ethical, and by the time that was that.

And finally the end came, as after a meeting between Jerry Yang and David Filo (Co-founder of Yahoo! and CEO'S of it) with Steve Ballmer (President and CEO of Microsoft) and Kevin Johnson (vice president of Worldwide Sales Marketing and Services Microsoft), in which Microsoft has increased its initial offer to $ 33 per share. Although the minimum amount required by Yahoo! was $ 37 per share, so it was impossible to reach agreement, and Microsoft has finally given up and done with Yahoo! rejected by the OPA conducted .

But while Microsoft takeover - Yahoo! seems to have ended, a new movement has given new prominence in the market at Yahoo!, and indirectly, probably is causing a headache for Microsoft, but we will discuss in another post. ah, well, I have not said, who has been the cause of such a movement? indeed: Google

Blog Twitter and Flickr helloworld

In this post I want to recall some of the online services offered by the Internet and use HelloWorld Blog, which you can see from the sidebar of the blog, but hey, here are more accessible.

One is Flickr , where I have 2 free accounts, I might someday make a Pro, but for now this is what you get:

1) helloworld Blog Flickr Account

On this account, mainly, you can see photos of my trip to Stockholm , concert photos Hero of silence in Zaragoza on 10/10/07 and the exhibition that took place in Zaragoza Playmobil

The user of this account if you want to search directly from Flickr is holamundoblog and the address is: http://www.flickr.com/photos/8002657 @ N03

2) Account Expoholamundo on Flickr

This account is dedicated exclusively to showing photographs of Expo Zaragoza 2008 which can be found in the category of HelloWorld Blog Expo 2008

The user of this account if you want to search directly from Flickr is expoholamundo and the address is: http://www.flickr.com/photos/25232657 @ N03 /

Another blog HelloWorld service, available on the Internet and I recently re-opened is Twitter ( What is Twitter? ), which simply becomes a microblogging service, which means short sentences (140 characters / words ) you can tell the world what you want at any given time. For example, if you're going to eat fried eggs and sausage, and you want the following in your profile on twitter know, because you can tweet: To eat fried eggs with chorizo ​​rich rich

Thus, the twitter of HelloWorld Blog can be traced in many ways, I will show some of them:

• You can follow him through this blog, because if you're browsing the sidebar you'll see it says: My Twitter, and then get a blue box with the last post tweeted.
• Another way is via RSS more comfortable as you can follow the news from the twitter of HelloWorld Blog RSS at the following address: http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/14964036.atom
• Another way is through the actual website Twitter through http://twitter.com/holamundoblog
• And if it's not enough, as the last option you give if you already use Twitter, for the most practical and simplest of all, "Follow" to Holamundoblog on twitter and you're done.

Later, maybe talk a little more depth of Twitter, for those who know not that it will.

Be happy and enjoy these services.
