Way to go, Yahoo marketing! I think that pricey “It’s You” campaign might not have worked.

Groupon’s S-1 filing for an IPO last month certainly got a lot of ink.

Yes, it is perverse, but I really want to come in dead last in Time magazine’s “140 Best Twitter Feeds.”

Yahoo’s Luke Beatty said he is not worried.
“We welcome the change,” he insisted about Google taking aim last Friday at so-called “content farms,” producers of low-quality content that spam up the Web and the search giant’s results. “And we endorse what Google is doing 100 percent.”
That’s ironic, given among those allegedly hit hardest by the tweaking of its famous algorithm–based on early, and perhaps questionable, surveys–is Yahoo’s Associated Content.
Its founder talked to BoomTown about the impact.
