It was just my birthday, so I get to make a wish. And I'm going to… I'm going to make a wish for Google, a wish for Yahoo and a wish for MSN/Live/Sympatico. My wish for Google for 2008. My biggest wish for Google for 2008 is a "negative" geotargeting capability. As odd as that [...]

Will it finally happen this time? Will Yahoo and Microsoft merge? Combined they would be able to own at least a third of all Internet searches. They would have 600 million users. They would own one of the largest content networks. They would be the world's largest webmail provider. They would own the world's most used [...]

MSNBC and the David C. Churbuck article Google and the Rebirth of Banner Ads provided not only some interesting insight into the Google Doubleclick deal, but also this little nugget way, way, way, way down the article, and it's a long article so perhaps if reading it, you might have zoned out.
