Google's Own Maps + Local + Main Search Results Mash-up

I never know if this stuff is new, but because I use Google all the time and I've never seen it, I'm going to make the assumption that it is. What you see below is a Gmap in the Gserps... Something I've definitely never seen before. Has anybody else seen this?

Google More: Suggestions

Do a search for "Portland." Notice anything different? Sure you do.


It's almost like a Google suggestion tool right? Kind of cool. I'll see what I can find out.

Jets Draft Kellen Clemens

Holy Crap - how stoked am I right now? My favorite NFL team, daaaa Jets. Favorite college team? Well, since I'm a Duck it has to be Oregon.

Clemens is going to kick major butt in New York! Can't wait to see him play with the other O-line picks.

Yahoo and Prudential team up in real estate

I wish I could find more information about this online, but I just can't. I was watching TV when I say a commercial advertising Prudential Financial and Yahoo Real Estate.

It seems to me this is significant, especially with Google getting a lot of attention for their inclusion in the Pontiac commercial.

More Yahoo Images

I think these are pretty cool, so I took some extra screen shots. It seems that I can only find the Yahoo image text ads on Yahoo Sports articles and only using Firefox, but not IE (at least not the IE 7 preview).

Here was my original post about the Yahoo images in their text ads.

Yahoo Ads Displaying Images

So I was reading about how George Mason beat Connecticut in the NCAA tournament when I got to the bottom of the article. Holy Crap - look what I found!

Yahoo's sponsored links at the bottom of the page have small little images screen shots of the destination website.

Here is what I saw:



Now, I have not seen this before, but let me check into this a little bit more and I'll blog it up if I find anything else.

PS - Hey Yahoo, can we get a little YPN love and throw some images in our contextual ads? Please?

Google Base On GSerps

Haha, I ran across this in the Google Serps yesterday when doing a search for "Google Jobs." Thought that it was something new, then changed back to reporting old news, only to find out it was new news. Go figure. :0)
