    There are some promising anecdotes in there. Maybe the Internet isn't all bad.

    It works so well that Google killed its print ads program on Saturday after three years due to lack of revenue.

    Yahoo! = Fail!

    Two different things, 2Much.

    Google's was a print program.

    Yahoo's is for Internet advertising.

    Yeah, it's kind of opposite. Google, an internet entity, was trying to tap into print. While Yahoo is encouraging/helping print tap into internet sales.

    "... until last fall, Ms. Widener, a 53-year-old saleswoman at The Knoxville News Sentinel in Knoxville, Tenn., had never sold an Internet ad."

    I don't know whether to find this completely unfathomable, or utterly unsurprising. Either way, it makes me angry.

    Be thankful they didn't try to team with Prodigy.
