Google Wins MySpace Search

Via a friend and IMIX employee on IM today, it looks like Google has pushed out the long standing deal that IMIX had with Overture, and become the new search partner for MySpace and the FIM family.

News Corporation’s Fox Interactive Media and Google Inc. today announced a multi-year search technology and services agreement whereby Google will be the exclusive search and keyword targeted advertising sales provider for Fox Interactive Media’s growing network of web properties including MySpace.com

Crossing The Street In Boston

In my recent travels, of which there have been many, I often am amazed at the lack of jaywalking that takes place in cities other than Boston. When I went to San Francisco some 2 years ago for the first time, I noticed it above almost everything else. Seemed as though people would awkwardly sit at a “Don’t Walk” sign IRREGAHDLESS of whether or not there was any traffic present. And god forbid you crossed out of turn, you would feel the stares like daggers in the back of the head.

Turns out someone else has picked up on this charming oddity of Boston as well.

The Husband and I thought we were going to get citizens’ arrested for crossing the street illegally in California. Necks practically snapped as heads whipped around to see us step gingerly into the deserted main street in Sausalito.
