It's Yahoo Plus eBay vs. Google
Octagon Most writes "Yahoo and eBay have announced a broad partnership in their efforts to compete against Google and Microsoft." From the article: "In addition, Yahoo Web search features will be integrated into a co-branded version of the eBay toolbar, and the companies said they would explore developing 'click-to-call' ad technologies on their respective Web sites. 'Click-to-call' provides a link inside an advertisement that allows consumers to directly call the advertiser to pursue a transaction."
This begs the question: have eBay now stopped (or stemmed at least) their ubiquitous Google search ad campaign?
No, it is still there.
I'm a virgo and on Slashdot. Coincidence? Yes.
