I picked this up in another story about Verisign fucking the Internet:
Two companies with ties to Yahoo Inc. are providing the technology and advertising know-how to drive the new VeriSign service. Inktomi Corp., a search technology company acquired by Yahoo in March, is one partner, while Pasadena, Calif.-based Overture Services Inc., a major provider of paid placement services, is the other. Yahoo announced its intent to acquire Overture in July.
Oh, great.
I wonder who we're supposed to slap around here...
Where's that "Proud to be a Yahoo!" t-shirt when you want to burn it, anyway?
In related news, run this search on Verisign's SiteFinder. Heh.
