Google and Yahoo to share web ads

[Traveler]

This is not a late april fools joke. They are going to test this out for a couple of weeks.

"During the pilot, Google will be able to place ads alongside 3% of search results on Yahoo's website. Analysts say the move is designed to frustrate Microsoft, which has offered to buy Yahoo for $44.6bn (£22.6bn), or extract a higher offer."

They will lose business if they don't change their chargeback policies. No one does large transactions on Ebay. Their own coverage is a max of $300 I believe and of course they don't cover ANY virtual goods. Thankfully this is a trial in Australia and let's hope it fails. Although I rarely use ebay anymore.
