Dunno about the shakeup, but come on…doesn’t all traffic on the internet go down in August? compared to january which is one of the strongest months on the internet. the local papers need to do better journalism and Duncan, you need to put a little analysis into your posts.

It’s hard to rock a status of google holding 80-85% of the local search market. And Yahoo Global now under big challenge, so it’s no strange to see the shakeup

I use yahoo.au primarily for it’s comprehensive finance sites – most colleagues/friends do too. Google finance offering for AU investments is second rate.

Know why Ninemsn does so well? MSN Messenger tie-ins…. MSN has a massive market.

Not that I think that’s a good thing, just saying.

[Seven Network must learn from OneTel Failure]

In most cases,if a company was too much greedy,it resulted in failure.

1.Do not invest too much money!
2.Do not try to kill competitors!
3.Try to make a joint venture with a major competitor and a big customer for advertisements!
4.Invest a huge amount of money into a safe and high yield sectors!
5.Return the money to shareholders!
6.Get an IPO for SMG and list on ASX!

I’m not suprised about the MS percentage. The support for MS outside of academia over here is painful

Yahoo7 shakeup?…

Today I found an interesting article on Tech Crunch, talking about some big moves within Yahoo7, the Australian parternship between Yahoo and the 7 Network.Yahoo7 is also the Telecom New Zealan partner on its Yahoo!Xtra portal:[quote]According to a rep…

“Seriously though, why they ever thought it was a good idea get into bed with 7 is beyond me. ” — Cam

maybe their jibber jabber from a PR from 2005 will help clarify – or simply amuse.

“The combined strengths of Yahoo!’s search and communications capabilities and its global Internet network, with Seven’s rich media and entertainment content and marketing capabilities will create one of the most comprehensive and engaging online experiences for Australian consumers and advertisers.

…

As a result of today’s agreement, Yahoo! Australia & NZ becomes the key platform for Seven’s ongoing development beyond broadcast television and magazine publishing as it builds its Digital Media Division – leveraging its strengths in the creation and marketing of content into new and rapidly evolving forms of technology.

Correspondingly, by partnering with a leader in local digital content, Yahoo! will be better positioned to exploit opportunities for growth in Australia. Seven is the largest television company in Australia reaching 98 per cent of Australians through its owned and operated stations and affiliate agreements. “

How come Australia has the search engines doing local customization deals? Here in the UK we get Google Uk, MSN UK, Yahoo UK … no companions like TV networks.

Yahoo7 call their New Zealand offering YahooXtra (in partnership with the Monopoly Telco owned ISP). Unfortunately for them its name is kind of mud here because they unwisely decided to move the Xtra email servers over to Yahoo and in the process introduced so many problems with deleted emails and access issues that it was all over the media and forced them to shell out millions of dollars compensation.
If you were to ask anybody in NZ what the first thing that came to mind was with YahooXtra they would probably say the email fiasco.

Yah who?

Seriously though, why they ever thought it was a good idea get into bed with 7 is beyond me. Smacks of NineMSN-ish metooism – which by the way is just as dreadful, only slightly more embedded by virtue of the Microsoft parts.
