Watch for new “Life” ads with special Messenger features
March 19, 2010 on 6:15 am | In 10 version, 9.0 version, Features, Fun Stuff | 31 Comments
As a Yahoo! Messenger user, you’re used to seeing ads when you’re chatting with friends. We know you see ads all over the Internet, so it’s always a challenge for us to serve up compelling ads that are unique.
This weekend you’ll see ads in Yahoo! Messenger for Discovery Channel’s new Life series, which begins March 21. Narrated by Oprah Winfrey, Life is an 11-part series about the natural world around us, and is the follow up to the critically acclaimed series, Planet Earth.
Rather than just offer up the usual banner ads, we’ve partnered with Life to integrate some fun Messenger functionality into their ads. If you see a Life ad in Yahoo! Messenger, be sure to click to expand it. You can watch a video preview of the series and then with just a click, share it with your IM friends, update your status to tell your friends about the show, or even change your display image to one of the cool animal images from the show.
While we know ads can sometimes distract you from what you’re doing in Yahoo! Messenger, we hope you’ll find that these special Life ads instead enhance your IM experience by giving you something fun to share with your friends.

ohhhh I thought that series looked familiar, its the series created by the UK’s BBC and Oprah had re-narrated it for Discovery

While you guys at Yahoo are at adding new features, can someone please look into why users are getting constant “march 2 maintenance” notifications in messenger on 20th march and all days AFTER march2.

Well, I gotta say I hate ads, but I’m still have to see your ads on Yahoo! Messenger window because there’s no close button at all. I always know how to get rid of those annoying stuff, but it should better have option for use to choose showing ads or not. Thanks!

The only movie I take exception to on the list is FRIGHT NIGHT. Good movie; just not terrible scary to me. Suspenseful, sure, but nothing compared to MARTIN or DEAD RINGERS. I would have included NEAR DARK, if only for the barroom scene

It would be ironic if Ted Kennedys bastion went for the Republican candidate. You cant make up stuff that good.

I have observed that in the world today, video games will be the latest rage with children of all ages. Occasionally it may be difficult to drag young kids away from the games. If you want the best of both worlds, there are lots of educational activities for kids. Thanks for your post.

What you posted made a bunch of sense. However, what about this? suppose you were to create a awesome headline? I ain’t saying your content isn’t solid, but suppose you added a headline that grabbed people’s attention? You could glance at Yahoo’s front page and watch how they create post titles to grab viewers interested. You might add a video or a related picture or two to grab readers interested about what you’ve got to say. Just my opinion.
