We are deeply grateful to Jerry for his many contributions as CEO over the past 18 months, and we are pleased that he plans to stay actively involved at Yahoo! as a key executive and member of the Board.”

After Yahoo rejecting Microsoft’s offer to acquire the company for $31/share earlier this year, Yahoo has slipped all the way to a recent low of $10.32 amidst its own internal problems and the broader economic slowdown, market believe this could be strong reason why Jerry Yang decide to leave the CEO position.

UK Biggest Newspaper – The Guardian to Offer Full Text RSS Feeds

Jerry Ong — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 15:22:06 +0000

One of the UK’s largest newspapers – Guardian.co.uk is offering its content in full-text RSS feeds. This remark the Guardian in turn becomes the first major newspaper in the world to do so.

They’ve applied the new full content feeds across the entire web site, but there are some exceptions:

1) Guardian don’t always include cartoons, images and some of the other in-article elements that appear with articles on guardian.co.uk

2) If they have any doubts about rights to publish the full text of an article in this context, it will just show a summary and a link to the main guardian.co.uk site where you can read the full version.

Advertising will soon appear within each Guardian full content feed item. Ads won’t appear in the items which we display only as summaries.

Newspapers have only offered partial feeds primarily because they can’t make much money in RSS advertising compare to selling conventional banner, text, and overlay ads on websites. Partial feed which only offers a headline and brief summary era seems like going to end soon.
