the internets

People are searching in (what has to be) record numbers for work from home options. After Good Morning America featured a book on television, everyone wants to explore their options.

I guess it’s no surprise. Gas is ridiculous, people are getting fired, and others might want some extra cash to cover rising food costs.

Comcast, your feminine side is showing…

The cable service company bought the electronic newsletter for around $125 million dollars, according to The Wall Street Journal. Daily Candy will increase Comcast’s online offerings, which include Fandango and video site Fancast.

Katz Online Network, which will house the biggest batch of content from popular radio shows available. Audio streamed on the network will include that of Clear Channel Radio, Salem Broadcasting, Cox Radio, Cumulus, Air America, and a variety of internet radio sites.

The two companies merging to form Katz Online Netowork, Clear Channel Radio and Katz Media Group, boast that 33 million Americans listen to online radio a week. The Katz Online Network is counting on this, coupled with the wide variety of stations and genres available to listeners, to make the network an attractive prospect to advertisers. Those wishing to advertise on the Katz Online Network can choose to buy video, audio, banner, or display options on the network’s site.

Guess Sirius XM is even more obsolete than we thought.

A new twist has occurred in the never-ending saga that is the Microsoft-Yahoo story. Carl Icahn, who owns a 5% stake of Yahoo! has just been given 3 spots on Yahoo!’s board. Yahoo! only did this to avoid a full out war (Icahn wanted to take over the entire board and oust Founder and Chief Exec Jerry Yang).

Icahn still thinks the Microsoft offer is a good thing. Maybe we’ll actually get those two kids together someday…maybe not.
