Comment on Yahoo buys freelance news site Associated Content

Comments

Yahoo Inc. is buying freelance news site Associated Content in a deal that will add a more folksy touch to one of the world's biggest Web sites.

So Associated Content, which is a content mill a la Demand Media/AOL Seed based on SEOing the hell out of trending news items is now owned by a search engine. That sounds like the worst/greatest idea Yahoo has come up with yet depending on your perspective.

well to be fair Yahoo is getting out of the search business(they'll be powered by bing)
