Yahoo Doing Stuff They Already Do

from the have-I-been-living-in-the-future? dept

Two stories on News.com about things happening at Yahoo. However, both are confusing to me, because neither one is actually new. First they said that (oh my!) Yahoo has joined the crowd of moronic desperate content sites and is now serving up pop under ads to annoy you. That's interesting, but I've been getting pop ups from Yahoo (at Yahoo Sports) for at least two weeks (and probably longer) already. Then they talk about how Yahoo is going to launch Yahoo PayDirect in the United States in a few months (basically it's Yahoo's PayPal copy). Problem is I've been using Yahoo PayDirect for months already, so I'm not clear what the excitement is.

    yahoo pay direct has been around for awhile, but the news is that yahoo and hsbc announced an agreement this week that will expand services available to people who use pay direct. but i don't think either company has said exactly what will come out of the agreement.
