In this week's video recap, I discuss the major business turmoil Yahoo is going through with Microsoft, Google, AOL and News Corp. I also go through Flickr adding video, Yahoo acquiring IndexTools, Google's new AdWords policy, the guy who trademarked SEO, how one can penalized their competitors in Google, and so much more. The video is under ten minutes long and you can win some great schwag by watching.

Is it just me or Yahoo is not going to be sold that cheap to MS? I believe that it is good to thing for Yahoo to stand on their own but I also think that they will need something new in their advertising (new tv ads maybe?) to bring in more people... Sasha T.

Great show Barry. The video is a nice catchup on a hazy Sunday morning. One piece of feedback, the background music you play and sound effects is WAY too loud. Whatever you are saying behind them can't really be heard. I'd stick with just an opening and closing tune. Oh, and my vote for the schwag is Text Link Ads. :)

Thanks Dave, I noticed that also and I will stick with intros and endings. Honestly, when I created it, I lowered the background music big time but when it generated the file, it didn't come out that way. I keep experimenting, hoping to make it better. Good luck Dave on your answer.

Every time I hear more stories about Microsoft and Yahoo! I have "Secret of My Success" flashbacks with Michael J Fox taking over the company that is being taken over..
