VIDEO: What does the Google-Yahoo potential ad partnership mean to you? (KQED)

by David Spark on July 20, 2008

Friday night I appeared on KQED’s “This Week in Northern California” all prepared to talk in great detail about the debate going on at Capitol Hill regarding Google and Yahoo’s potentially anti-competitive and monopolistic advertising practices. While we initially talked about that, the conversation trailed off onto a whole variety of related subjects. Watch and let me know what you think. Only five minutes.



  1. Yahoo! buy AOL? MySpace fingerprints your tunes. Don’t make a deal with Google Video.
  2. KQED-Microsoft bids for Yahoo
  3. Daily Motion squeezes YouTube. Google Answers, doesn’t. Yahoo! rebuffs Google’s advances.
  4. Scary Yahoo! videos. Bush and "The Google." Google lawsuits.
  5. Me on KQED-Google purchases YouTube

    I think you did a great job with this show apparition.
    I think that this partnership would be pretty bad for the Internet. First of all, I really believe there is a huge risk of monopoly. It is important to keep a great competition in this market, especially after what we have seen with the Google stock depreciating due to a large speculation on it.

    Secondly, I think that the Internet is changing, with the arrival of mobility and video content. And that implies some new search engine techniques. It is important that we keep a good competition level in order to create an emulation. I believe that if Yahoo and Google make a partnership, it will slow down the research and the development of new techniques of search.
