Reuters reports today that Yahoo and eBay announced an alliance in the US to improve their strenght against Google.
Does it mean that I might see a Skype+Yahoo messenger soon? Anyway, the market approved this move.

EBay shares soared nearly 9 percent and Yahoo rose more than 3 percent on news of the partnership.

Yahoo, the world’s largest Internet media company, will become the
exclusive provider of online banners and other graphic advertising on
eBay, and provide some search services within eBay’s site to connect
buyers to items they seek.

In return, Yahoo will promote PayPal, EBay’s popular online
payment system used by 73 million U.S. consumers, as a way for Yahoo’s
hundreds of thousands of affiliated Web sites and small business owners
to conduct transactions online.
