Why Yahoo! Buzz is a Brilliant Idea

By Muhammad Saleem / February 27, 2008 1:00 PM

As soon as the online press got hold of a sliver of information about Yahoo! Buzz, the predictable cries of "Digg clone!" were loud enough to drown out anyone who thought that Yahoo! Buzz might be something more than a lame attempt at socially driven news (without the social elements).

There has been a lot of coverage about the potential Yahoo! acquisition by Microsoft over the last week. This coverage has looked at issues such as deal mechanics, antitrust implications, and the impact on advertisers.

Yahoo! PDF Ads In the Wild on Kevin Kelly's Latest Book

By Josh Catone / January 4, 2008 12:11 PM

Kevin Kelly may be best known as the founding executive editor of Wired magazine, but he's also a long-time blogger and the author of numerous books. One of those books, True Films, has just been updated for a third edition. The book collects Kelly's 200 favorite documentaries reviewed on his site of the same name. "I only review films I love and believe others will enjoy. Merely good films are left unmentioned," says Kelly. Previous editions of the book have been sold via Amazon, Lulu, or as a paid download via Kelly's own site. That the book was updated a second time is unremarkable. What is noteworthy, is that Kelly is giving the book away for free as a PDF and monetizing it with contextual text advertising.
