It looks like we've got a full-on battle royale coming up in the tech industry. Business Week says, "Yahoo partners with eBay to battle with Google, which is teaming with Dell to put the heat on Microsoft". Sounds like things could get ugly.
"Under the Yahoo-eBay partnership, which covers only the U.S., Yahoo will supply eBay's site with ads, and the two will split revenue generated from them. eBay's auction listings will be included in Yahoo search results, driving users from that site to eBay's listings. Yahoo will also let users pay for Yahoo services using PayPal, eBay's online payment-processing company, and Yahoo links will be included on the eBay toolbar."
Marco Chiappetta
Marco's interest in computing and technology dates all the way back to his early childhood. Even before being exposed to the Commodore P.E.T. and later the Commodore 64 in the early ‘80s, he was interested in electricity and electronics, and he still has the modded AFX cars and shop-worn soldering irons to prove it. Once he got his hands on his own Commodore 64, however, computing became Marco's passion. Throughout his academic and professional lives, Marco has worked with virtually every major platform from the TRS-80 and Amiga, to today's high end, multi-core servers. Over the years, he has worked in many fields related to technology and computing, including system design, assembly and sales, professional quality assurance testing, and technical writing. In addition to being the Managing Editor here at HotHardware for close to 15 years, Marco is also a freelance writer whose work has been published in a number of PC and technology related print publications and he is a regular fixture on HotHardware’s own Two and a Half Geeks webcast. - Contact: marco(at)hothardware(dot)com
