Yahoo OneSearch coming to T-Mobile phones? — According to InfoWorld, Marco Boerries, executive vice president and head of Yahoo’s Connected Life Division, let it slip that T-Mobile and Yahoo will be announcing a partnership to put the Yahoo OneSearch button on T-Mobile phones. If this rumor pans out, this is good news for Yahoo whose financial struggles are, well, numerous. Yahoo OneSearch may be Yahoo’s ray of hope as OneSearch is doing rather well in the mobile search market. AT&T also inked a deal with Yahoo back in September to bring OneSearch to AT&T handsets. Yahoo has an exclusive deal with O2 in the UK and... [Tags: advertisers, amp, central europe, eggs, executive vice]

Yahoo Search Takes Another Blow - Lead Engineer Leaving — And the rumor is he's going to Microsoft. Should that prove true, another reason to make that Yahoo/MSFT search deal happen. Details at All Things D: Yahoo–which has stuck to its guns by staying in the search business, even though many think it is a losing game and should be sold off to Microsoft–has lost a key engineer in that arena to, uh-oh, Microsoft. Sean Suchter, the VP of Search Technology at Yahoo, was also deeply involved in Yahoo’s efforts to open up its search platform, initiatives the company has touted aggressively as a bright spot in its not-so-lustrous...

Ballmer says “No” to a post-Yang Yahoo buyout — Ending speculation that another Microsoft-Yahoo deal may be on the table after the exit of Jerry Yang, Steve Ballmer said at a Wednesday shareholder meeting “Let me be clear. We are done with all acquisition discussions with Yahoo.” His announcement sent Yahoo’s shares into a 20% nosedive, closing at $9.13 at days end. Ballmer did tell shareholders that Microsoft may still be open to a search deal with Yahoo but those slightly encouraging words did not soften the blow of his comments dismissing a possible acquisition. Is this really the death knell for a Microsoft-Yahoo merger? Maybe, maybe not.... [Tags: acquisition discussions, ceo, death knell, decline, encouraging words]

Yahoo Glue Gives You Everything But the Web Search [Yahoo] — Yahoo is rolling out a search service that aggregates an interesting mix of non-web search results across a page. Glue has been available through Yahoo India with customized results for about seven months, and the U.S. version offers a similar set of results boxes: Yahoo Shopping, blog search from Google (seriously), Yahoo Answers and Images, YouTube and Wikipedia pages. More relevant search types are shifted to the top when found. It's an intriguing, semi-open move, and a decent bookmark for grabbing broader information about a topic at a glance. Tell us your take on Glue in the comments. Yahoo!... [Tags: aggregates, boxes, glance, glue, google]

Google Kills Lively Quickly — Just a few months ago, when Google launched its "Lively" 3D chat offering, I questioned Google's strategy, as it didn't seem to offer anything different or compelling. Some people here disagreed, and believed Google would be able to turn the service into something compelling, but that appears not to be. Since the launch, to be honest, I can't recall ever hearing about Lively again -- and had pretty much forgotten it existed. And, indeed, less than six months after launching it, Google has killed off Lively, admitting that the experiment was something of a failure. There seems to be a...
