The unveiling of the Yahoo! Build Your Own Search Service (BOSS) may spur an influx of new search engines. Although start-up of a search engine is costly and time consuming, BOSS gives developers a head start with the ability to access Yahoo!’s search results and customize the rest.

Google Strengthens Analytics Service
Kevin Marsh
Google strengthened its analytics services on June 24th by introducing a new Ad Planner service. The service provides media planners’ visibility into which Web sites are frequently visited by their target audience. Ad Planner provides information on a Web sites traffic and demographics, as well as more specific data such as age, gender, education, household income and even keywords used by visitors during searches.
Google’s efforts are targeted directly at media planners that otherwise might not have had access to Web analytics. Now that the primary roadblock to effective ad targeting has been removed, it is likely that Google will see increased revenue from coming from media planners at smaller agencies.
