There has been a lot of coverage this past week about the recent upgrading of search engines' user experiences to include other content-type results. Yahoo unveiled new enhancements on Tuesday , Microsoft launched refined Live Search last week , and Ask upgraded to its "3D" user interface back in June. Of course, Google announced its "Universal Search" all the way back in May, touted by Marissa Mayer on their blog "to blend content from Images, Maps, Books, Video, and News into our web results."

I am sure you remember the ebay-Skype deal where ebay coughed up $2.6b upfront for Skype and offered an earnout of up to another $1.7b for hitting performance numbers. Besides the value of the deal, what struck me most was that 40% of the total potential deal size was based on performance-based milestones. Fast forward 2 years later and in the day of reckoning it seems that eBay is only going to pay $530mm of the $1.7bb earnout (see Eric Savitz from Barrons post and press release ).

Ive been aware of Amie St for a while now -- heard the buzz, checked out the service a few times. Looked interesting, but I never spent too much time really thinking hard about what they were creating. The way it works is that all songs start out as free downloads and rise in price the more they are purchased (with a max of $0.98).
