"Optimized by Yahoo"

Or do they mean
"Optimized for Yahoo"?

I was surprised when I saw this. I thought Flock was their Browser, just like Firefox is Google's.

Apparently Flock is Yahoo's Firefox, or something like that.

They probably have a deal with MS... First IM, then browser.

Tony, Yes it is. Flock is based on Firefox's source code and everything is defaulted to either Yahoo or one of its services like FlickR or del.icio.us. Don't quote me on this but an insider tells me support for Yahoo! Photos in Flock is likely too.

By adding the Yahoo! Toolbar, they are installing a 'hole' on the not-so-secured web browser.

But do you guys think that MS and Yahoo is getting closer and closer. I think its their plan – unite and attack.

But no matter what we will always stand by Google!!!

MS and Yahoo are following an interesting concept and have built an alliance against Google (AOL, MySpace, Sun, Adobe and Mozilla). I wonder if Apple will partner up with Google. Jobs did say majority of the innovation was coming from Apple and Google.
