Weekend Update, 9/26/08
As part of AllThingsD’s ongoing efforts to make your world more laden with information about All Things Digital, we’ve decided to introduce a new “Weekend Update” feature. This is our first installment:
- Microsoft abandoned its non-sequitur Seinfeld advertising strategy this week for a non-partisan one–in which the spots themselves are watermarked “made on a mac.” Meanwhile, Google did some advertising of its own–launching a new site solely to allay fears about its intended advertising partnership with Yahoo (quoting BoomTown out of context for good effect.) That won’t help advance its case with the American Antitrust Institute, though–the Institute believes the deal “could end up as a black hole that swallows up Yahoo.”
