Yahoo and Google link up on ads

In the latest twist in the Yahoo-Microsoft-Google saga, Yahoo and Google just announced they’ll start working together on the search and display ad business.

This comes just a few hours after Yahoo announced that it and Microsoft had absolutely, positively, really, truly, no kiddin’ around this time broken off talks that once could’ve put the Internet pioneer in Steve Ballmer’s and Bill Gates’s stable.

Yahoo and Google say their nonexclusive working arrangement could yield $800 million in annual revenues.

It also leaves Microsoft with one more thing on its “What to Do About Google” list.
