AT&T Replaces Google Search on New Android Phone with Yahoo 

Told ya. It begins…

Yahoo has replaced Google as the default search provider throughout the phone. It’s crazy: the home screen widget, the browser, everything’s been programmed to use Yahoo. We love us some irony, but golly, we’d prefer Google searches most of the time.

How happy do you think AT&T was to make the switch: it’s upset over Google Voice and Google broadband. Plus, Yahoo/Bing probably cut a sweet deal.

Yahoo Integrating Twitter, Twitter Getting Cash 

Twitter has fallen backwards into the perfect revenue model for their current situation: selling access to their data.

Yahoo, Microsoft, and Google will keep them in the black and flush while they take their sweet time figuring out the right way to bring advertising to their network. The platform agnostic position they find themselves in is certainly sweet, especially as the internet is starting to fragment into big platform chunks.
