HotJobs’ Sale Could End Yahoo’s Newspaper Consortium

by Allen Weiner  |  December 9, 2009  |  Comments Off

According to this report from Reuters, Yahoo is open to selling HotJobs fir the right price.

If this report is true, then I suspect Yahoo’s newspaper consortium will lose much of its momentum if not outright come to an end; there are more than 600 newspapers in the consortium and HotJobs is one of the key services Yahoo provides its partners. Based on Microsoft/Bing’s desire to work with newspapers (well, at least News Corp.) and Google’s recent efforts to attract newspaper publishers (Living Stories, search blocking), two companies are eager to take over what Yahoo started.
