Washington - The U.S. Department of Justice has announced a formal probe of Yahoo's (NASD: YHOO) proposed online advertising partnership with Google (NASD: GOOG), and will seek documents and information from third party companies with a vested interest in the sector, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday. Google and Yahoo had agreed to voluntarily delay the deal -- which would see Google serve ads against Yahoo search results -- while the Justice Dept. made an informal inquiry, "but a formal investigation signals that the department may have found some cause for concern," The Post reported.

Philipp Lenssen writes "Google announced their very own browser project called Google Chrome — an announcement in the form of a comic book drawn by Scott McCloud, no less. Google says Google Chrome will be open source, include a new JavaScript virtual machine, include the Google Gears add-on by default, and put the tabs above the address bar (not below), among other things. I've also uploaded Google's comic book with all the details (details given from Google's perspective, anyway... let's see how this holds up). While Google provided the URL www.google.com/chrome there's nothing up there yet."

Are you kidding me? Google getting rid of Google Page Creator, this must be a joke. No, it's for real. Google says they're going to be transitioning all Google Page Creator websites into their new Google Sites. Excuse me, but Google Sites doesn't come close to being as good as Google Page Creator. Why in the world would Google choose to keep the lesser of the two?

The ladies and (especially) gentlemen of Microsoft, Yahoo! and Google trooped into the US Congress to inform US politicians about how good and how bad and how anti-competitive the Yahoo!-Google advert deal is; Yahoo! got things off with a joke by their lawyer Michael Callahan that was pretty funny but disrespectful: ''With all due respect to Google, we have every expectation of fighting them and winning;'' Brad Smith, Microsoft solicitor, explained to the congresspeople that if search is the key to the Internet, as ''many'' believe, then ''this deal will put Google in a position to own that gateway and the information that flows through it''; so it's probably fair to say that when Microsoft takes over Yahoo!, this deal will follow the dodo and other extinct species.

The ongoing US Congress investigation into online advertising seems to be having an effect on some of the companies as Google and Yahoo announced plans to allow users to opt out of targeted promotions on the Internet. While Yahoo announced a new one-click opt-out policy yesterday, Google made it possible to opt out of both Google and Doubleclick ad targeting with one click the day before.

Excerpts of the proposed advertising partnership deal between the Internet search giant Google Inc. (GOOG) and web portal Yahoo! (YHOO) were released on Friday. However, according to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing, while both companies seem to disclose in detail the contract governing the partnership, Google and its chief rival Yahoo have kept secret the pact’s financial terms - including compensations and revenue split. The extent of other ties between the two companies were not disclosed as well.

A proposed online search advertising deal between Yahoo and Google came under fire at a US senate hearing as Microsoft claimed that Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang had himself admitted that the agreement would hurt competition. Speaking before the senate's judiciary committee, Microsoft's general counsel Brad Smith recounted a June 8 meeting at the San Jose airport involving Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer, Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang and other company executives during which Yang allegedly said a Google-Yahoo deal would be anti-competitive.

Google and Verizon have often been on opposing sides of deals and issues (like those issues that arose during the 700 Mhz spectrum earlier this year). However it looks like the two companies are about to put the past behind them as they are rumored to be nearing a deal which would make Google the default search engine on all Verizon phones. The two companies would split ad revenue so that both would benefit. The deal has not been commented on by either party but sources say that a major point of contention is that Google seeks to save user search information in order to improve targeted ads and Verizon wants to keep that data to itself. Google is already the default search engine for Sprint phones and has a search partnership with Nokia plus the first Android phone has just gotten FCC approval so this is another step for Google towards do

Yahoo’s proposed search advertising partnership with Google could raise the average price of a pay-per-click ad on Yahoo by 22%, says search marketing firm SearchIgnite. But the impact on a given retailer will depend on the kind of search terms it buys.

While the Microsoft bid to buy Yahoo is long gone, its results seem to be lingering, as both Microsoft and Yahoo have lost search market share to Google since the failed merger was announced nearly 6 months ago. The Hitwise numbers--showing Google with 70.7% market share--just underscore how far both Microsoft and Yahoo (nevermind Cuil) need to go in order to break into Google's search lead. That 70.7% number could be a turning point.

Back in February, we pointed out that Google was playing with fire in suggesting that a Microsoft-Yahoo merger would violate antitrust laws. It seemed fairly obvious that those statements would come back to haunt Google -- a company many others have been accusing of antitrust violations. And, indeed, even with Microsoft still trying to buy Yahoo, Microsoft is now making nearly identical antitrust claims against Google concerning its ad deal with Yahoo. It's all legal posturing, of course, in an attempt to get the government to annoy a competitor. As Declan McCullagh points out at the link above, if either company really believes that the other was violating antitrust laws, it's perfectly free to file a private antitrust lawsuit. But, instead, both companies are playing a game in trying to get the government to be a pest for the other -- a

Yahoo! Inc. announced that it will offer users the ability to opt-out of customized advertising on Yahoo.com. This new option expands Yahoo!'s existing opt-out program for customized advertising served by Yahoo! on third party networks. Yahoo! announced the new opt-out capability as part of its response to a Congressional inquiry about customization sent to 33 companies from the House Energy and Commerce Committee. This new opt-out capability is expected to be available for consumers by the end of August. Users will be able to access the opt-out in the Yahoo! privacy center, which is linked on the home page and nearly every page on the Yahoo! network.

mytrip points out news that Google's index of unique URLs has reached a milestone: one trillion. Google's blog provides some more information, noting, "The first Google index in 1998 already had 26 million pages, and by 2000 the Google index reached the one billion mark. Over the last eight years, we've seen a lot of big numbers about how much content is really out there. To keep up with this volume of information, our systems have come a long way since the first set of web data Google processed to answer queries. Back then, we did everything in batches: one workstation could compute the PageRank graph on 26 million pages in a couple of hours, and that set of pages would be used as Google's index for a fixed period of time. Today, Google downloads the web continuously, collecting updated page information and re-processing the entire web-l
