Without second-guessing whether these were good ideas in the first place, here's the update on what Yahoo has or has not done from my list of random big ideas posted as * Yahoo has not acquired Yelp; * Yahoo has not acquired Research in Motion, but Microsoft was rumored to be interested; * No sign of a partnership with Microsoft;
It'll be interesting to see if Yahoo can integrate new ad buying features (and more relevant inventory) into its Panama platform, or whether they'll create separate automated platforms for buying ads online based on the emerging "exchange" paradigm that will eventually largely eclipse the old networks and traditional media buying functions.
