Publisher Tidbits and Trimmings
Pre-Thanksgiving news from the blogosphere
It’s Thanksgiving time for Americans, but even if you don’t live in the States, you can still be grateful for a lot of things. Here at the YPN Blog, we’re grateful to have your readership, so we thought we’d share our bounty from the blogosphere.
Holding it together
The Yahoo! Search Blog recently announced the launch of the Yahoo! Glue™ beta in the U.S. Glue topic pages help users get to all the information they want with just one click by “gluing” images, videos, articles and more all on one page. Currently, we’re starting with a limited set of topics, but more will be added over time. According to the folks at the Yahoo! Search Blog, “These pages are built using an algorithm that automatically places the most relevant modules on a page, giving you a visually rich, diverse page all about the topic in which you’re interested.”
eBay joins Yahoo! homepage test
Read, set, bid! Yodel Anecdotal announced that Yahoo! has added an eBay application to the “My Applications” dashboard area. According to the blog, “It will provide an ‘eBay Anywhere’ experience, letting people quickly monitor their eBay buying and selling activities, including checking recent bids or getting reminders about auctions that are about to close. They can also as search for and find new eBay items right from within Yahoo.com.” Read more about it here.
Link journalism gets the readers
Our friends at Publishing 2.0 just posted an interesting article about how link journalism drives page views and engagement. They have a compelling analysis on how some publishers provide many links to keep readers involved. We love links—as you can tell by this piece you’re reading now.
Wired kids in the U.K.
American youth may trail other countries in Internet use. Among 12- to 14-year-olds, says a report by the Center for the Digital Future, 100 percent of British youth use the Internet, followed by Israel at 98 percent. The report says 88 percent of Americans of the same age have access to the Internet. So where are the other 12 percent getting their publishing tips?

Why UGG Boot is So Popular?
Ugg boots, also spelled ugh boots and ug boots, are a style of sheepskin boot, with wool as the inner lining and a tanned outer surface worn by both men and women.

An exhibit of a WWI aviator’s outfit in the Canadian War Museum cites the term "fug" boots. UGG Cardy, Ugg Boots have also been popular with surfers and competitive swimmers since at least the 1960s, for keeping warm while out of the water.
