The Wayback Machine doesn't have the original Yahoo homepage. The one here is later. sporting a link to Yahoo! Deutschland.

If I remember they had their acronym in the lights: "Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle"

Ghostery has a secondary purpose. It's also "the eyes in the sky" that the ad industry will use to monitor and enforce self-regulation. In other words, it will collect data to ensure that ad companies are complying and affixing proper opt-out mechanisms to behaviorally-targeted ads.

SEOMoz uses AdRoll (disclosure: i'm founder) for retargeting. It's been a pleasure working closely with the Moz team shaping their campaign...

We help thousands of brands with retargeting and, yes, the results range from "holy crazy crap" to "hot diggity dangermouse." We offer an easy-to-use platform, great ROI, and powerful personalized advertising (eg, LiquidAds.)

Like secret_target says, partnering with a retargeting platform gets you much wider reach and better results than working exclusively with a single inventory pool like Google. (Google has the monopoly in search, but not display...)

Re:1password explain the new Dropbox terms on Sunday July 03, 2011 @01:16PM (#2724058)
Does Dropbox keep a revision history of your 1password data? It does that by default with other files.

If there is a Dropbox breach, I would want to prevent hackers from getting their hands on older versions of my passwords locked with an outdated (eg, no longer top secret) master password.

Re:Ask HN: Experiences with retargeting? on Tuesday October 05, 2010 @09:10PM (#1762300)
Make the plunge. I recommend AdRoll (though it's my baby, so I must admit I'm biased). As for second opinion, a large number of YC companies also run retargeting through us.

We provide great ROI bang for buck and charge transparently on a CPM or CPC. You can setup a campaign in under 5 minutes.

AdRoll's team just moved into a great new space near Market @ 3rd. We're looking for a Director of Product to own and drive our roadmap and build-out new products like RoundTrip (http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/11/05/browse-before-you-buy-a...)
