The ad being shown in India is different apart from some sequences moved around and the translation, there is an extra shot where a person is carrying the Yahoo exclamation (purple cardboard) on a scooter.

The Yahoo New Anthem ad was outstanding and the subtle message is international friendship and peace. I especially like the lead feather dancer floating to the top of the camera . . . she just happens to be my youngest daughter.

This is a decent ad, but I think the best shots were of Hong Kong. They seemed “real” with real people. The other stuff was just Hollywood fluff. Boring, fake and designed to sell.

I’ve been to India and this whole India part is just BS fantasy. India is nothing like that nor are the people like that. Again, more Hollywood fluff.

London was alright, but can’t we get more creative than shooting at the Tower Bridge and the Tube? So cliche.

Again, whoever worked the shots in Hong Kong should be getting a medal. Definitely the most convincing part of the ad and something this ad needs more of.

Nice ad. But don’t talk about an ad as if it’s an actual business accomplishment. It’s just an ad intended to make people feel good about your brand. And those “apps” on the front page are mostly just links to other sites. An app is an application that would run in your environment. Come on. I’m sure you’ll censor this post but please pass it on.

should search results be provided based on what the user already knows about the subject, can a search engine do this
or what the users tells about the query and based on that the results are given

nice ad it made me happy and sad coz its about nice things but also misses out the sad things, off-course i guess its being practical right, who will see a ad with many real world realities, anyway i loved all the colors in it

well everything seems to revolve around products and ads, i mean their are lot of people who cant buy products or most of the ads will not matter in their life

however a person in their environment talks, sees, communicates, shares, works, etc.,
how can the Internet and Yahoo! create value out of this

skill based work n jobs should be on equal scale

The backing track is superb. I bet people will be looking for it… I hear it’s an original composition – why not make an extended version of the song available for Yahoo! users to download for free?

Great job. I love how positive it is.

Except the shots of girls just shacking their booty is out of place and character with the ad. It seems this is a HUGE oversight.
