dominant mobile entertainment and IM service called ‚ÄúQQ‚Ä? – which “has
reached more than 100 million users, or nearly 80 percent of the market.”

not succeeded in China because they haven’t adapted to China‚Äôs Internet
market, “which is geared primarily to entertainment and mobile
phones”.

; as Search Engine Land explains, Yahoo’s
Panama ad system is designed to take “ad quality and other factors into
consideration in determining how ads are ranked on search results pages (a

are asking is whether Yahoo has left this move far too late, to seriously
challenge the dominant Google AdWords?

New
Google Mini Integrates Google Analytics
; more evidence of product
integration happening at Google.

Digg
