Hi,
With the launch of Yahoo Panama there is a upcoming change to sponsored search ranking system for Yahoo.
The week commencing July 23rd, 2007, Yahoo are introducing a new ranking model in the UK that considers an ad’s quality and bid amount. Instead of just bid amount, both bid amount and ad quality will now determine an ad’s rank.
Visit http://help.yahoo.com/l/uk/yahoo/ysm/sps/migration/tips_rank.html for more Information . Yahoo recommend that you review your current max bids. Keep in mind you may be charged up to the amount of your max bid.

Hello,
As you may or may not know uploading a new account into Yahoo Panama through the “Import Campaigns” function is a bit of a nightmare. I downloaded an account in CSV from editor today, altered it to make it Yahoo Panama friendly and then uploaded to Panama successfully! You can also upload your Google download through “Convert Third Party Campaigns.” This will spit out a Yahoo friendly upload sheet pointing out all the errors that need to be fixed before you upload.
This is certainly better than doing it from scratch and If you are running a search campaign on Yahoo you are bound to be on Google!
Cheers

So it took me a while to figure this one out, therefore thought it would be worth posting here…
Facebook currently allows only one url type declaration per style block. So if you have multiple url declarations in your style, you get this error. The solution is to simply seperate the url declarations into separate style blocks:
<style type="text/css">
#div1 { background: url(http://www.imageserver.com/img1.jpg); }
#div2 { background: url(http://www.imageserver.com/img2.jpg); }
</style>
To become:
<style type="text/css">
#div1 { background: url(http://www.imageserver.com/img1.jpg); }
</style>
<style type="text/css">
#div2 { background: url(http://www.imageserver.com/img2.jpg); }
</style>

Not exactly hot off the press, but facebook have opened up their site to developers with their ‘platform’ api. This is perhaps a big step forward for social networking. They are letting any developer easily write applications that can poke around very intimately in facebooks ’social graph’. Subject to terms and conditions, developers can release applications for the masses (on facebook) to install on their accounts. Currently the applications are hosted on developers servers, facebook can also send and recieve data to the developers server (call back) and display the results within face book so the applications can reside within or without facebook.com. There’s even scope for desktop applications.
Anyway I’ve been digging around the api and just recently released a client for The Sentence Game….
