Wow, $2.99 a domain? Who else can afford to do this besides Yahoo? That’s only one buck higher than their record low of $1.99 a domain a few months back. If the ICANN is still charging the resellers at $6 a domain, Yahoo loses $3.01 for every registered domain.
It even comes with a 24-hour toll-free customer support! Are you sure, Yahoo? I’ve spent an hour looking for but I still can’t find it anywhere on your website. That number sure is useful for people who have problem with their domains that need you to look into it URGENTLY.

Last week I took advantage of Yahoo’s offer of $4.98 per domain by registering a few domains for myself and my friends. The registration went smooth, and the transaction were quick enough to appear on my online credit card statement.
Few days later I received an email from Yahoo with the following contents:

Is Yahoo selling domains for $9.95 or $4.98? That depends on how and when you go to their domain selling page. Opening up the page at smallbusiness.yahoo.com/domains will probably tell you that Yahoo! is selling their domains at $9.95 each.
To get the promotional rate at $4.98, just add some coffees. smallbusiness.yahoo.com/domains/?p=COFFEE will cut the price by half.
Offer expires September 30, 2005. Okay, so this has nothing to do with skills then.

According to Threadwatch, Yahoo is going to launch an AJAX-like functionality at search.yahoo.com. Named as Instant Search, it brings up the top searches for the words while you are typing them. I guess it will be a Yahoo version of Google Suggest.
Updates:
It’s now accessible via http://instant.search.yahoo.com/. It’s like a professor who gives you an instant answer right after you ask. Snapshot below, as I was trying to check the weather in Boston.
Cool! And why feel lucky when you can be right? 
Yahoo! Health announced the launch of Health Blogs, which contains blog postings from health experts and celebrities. To coincide with it, the site also launched “Blog for Hope,” a special month-long program featuring health-related blog postings from celebrities, athletes, politicians and other well-known personalities.

After they have an ad network targeted at bloggers, they now have Audio Search, which lets you find podcasts.
The service will also display links to the online sites where users can pay to download a song. Most major music sites have agreed to send Yahoo lists of their songs and pay a commission on every song sold. The current version of the service has no advertising, but Mr. Horowitz said ads might be added later.

Choice is good. Search engine giant Yahoo is going to launch ad network for small Web publishers (reads bloggers), which rival Google has had it for years. Like AdSense, Yahoo’s offering will display text ads deemed relevant to the content of specific Web pages, and advertisers are charged only when a reader clicks their ads.
