Google Sitelinks, LocalLaunch Sold, Google Hijacked on Yahoo, AdWords Funny, YPN Down
Well, I just got sad news - very sad news, but totally not search related. In any event...
Google named what we called "Web Categories", Sitelinks. Justin and Brad sold their LocalLaunch company to RH Donnelley. Google.com was hijacked in Yahoo!'s search results this morning, well kinda. Hey, I found vertical creep of Google's new Archive News Search in the Google results. Did you notice that some error messages in AdWords are funny? Finally, some of the YPN ads may not load, based on your location.
