Techcrunch is reporting tonight that CBS and Yahoo will announce a partnership Wednesday.

While we don’t yet know exactly what it will entail, we are confident that Yahoo will be joining the CBS Audience Network, which distributes CBS content to destinations such as YouTube, AOL, MSN, Joost, Veoh, Fancast, Bebo, and TVGuide.

Saw this on LostRemote.com, then checked out the NY Times article.

Interesting that News Corp might join Microsoft in a bid for Yahoo!

By the way, I hope to catch up with my friends at Lost Remote next week at the NAB Show in Vegas.

Yahoo made a number of tweaks to its search engine, most notably adding a suggested search terms drop down. Beginning today, Yahoo will suggest ways to phrase a search request as a user searches, it will provide a list of related concepts and it will produce more links to photos, videos and music on the main results page. For example, if you search Oklahoma City news, it will suggest Oklahoma City newspaper. And I wonder where that link goes?

Cavemen debuts on ABC tonight at 7. The Geico ad campaign-turned-comedy has been blasted by critics. Cavemen centers on the everyday lives of two brothers and their friend who share an apartment in San Diego.

Our friends at the Dallas Morning News are getting into the OU-Texas spirit. Check out the Red River Rap Battle, pitting Mr. Pookie for Texas vs. Mr. Lucci, rapping for the Sooners. Yes, when I say Boomer, you say Sooner.

That’s today’s 3 things. Keep it real, ya’ll.

Get up early tomorrow. A total lunar eclipse can be seen in Oklahoma around 4 a.m. and ending by 7:30 a.m. The Earth’s shadow will glide across the moon’s surface, eclipsing it and turning it to shades of orange red. Go to nasa.gov to watch a webcast of the eclipse. I’m probably going to go ahead and miss this one. The next total lunar eclipse occurs in February.

Yahoo is introducing new features today for its email. Users will be able to send e-mail, instant messages or text messages from a single Web site. Think of the money parents could save if their kids use their computers to text instead of 15 cents per text via cell phones.

Dunkin’ Donuts is trying to refresh its image by largely eliminating trans fat. How? With alternative cooking oil and by reformulating 50 menu items — doughnuts included. All by Oct. 15. Krispy Kreme has yet to roll out a zero gram trans fat doughnut but hopes to do so. Starbucks said in May that it would cut artificial trans fats out of its food and drink by year’s end.

Stay healthy America.
