I've read both articles. They don't quite jive with each other. Olsen is a pretty good reporter but she works on tight deadlines and sometimes gets deals off a bit. I don't know the Reuter guy's stuff. This doesn't make sense to me. A lot of information is missing.

How are the going to crank up enough ads to be meaningful by July?

This sounds like Yahoo of old:

MSN will also replace Overture sponsored listings from underneath with one editorial staff-recommended site.

Eh,... can we take them to lunch?

Great post, but martinibuster is right: Something is screwy here.
