Google Yahoo Deal Under Review
Google has suspended their advertising partnership with Yahoo after European regulators started investigating the deal.
Google and Yahoo! today said they would temporarily suspend the partnership until regulators from both the US and EU have time to scrutinize the deal.
The planned partnership will see the two search engine giants combine their search advertising systems, which would allow Google to sell advertising on Yahoo! in return for a share of the profits.
Via Brand Republic
Update: Looks like Brand Republic got their information wrong, the deal is being reviewed and hasn’t been suspended!

Has this deal actually been suspended? Brand Republic did announce it early this morning, but their page seems to have been edited now.
Good point. It seems Brand Republic was wrong on this.
LoL
Can’t trust some 3rd parties for information.. It’s happened to me too.
No worries.. Still an interesting read!
maybe you should change the title instead of just putting in a small footnote..
