Full-on display ads are coming to Yahoo. Unlike Google, which still uses “traditional” text-based advertising in the search engine results, the new slate of Yahoo ads will feature logos, expanded user options, and even specialized search bar when applicable. “Really, when you think about it, there is no reason that display, video, and other graphical ads can’t be mixed in on search results pages,” writes TechCrunch contributor Eric Schonfeld. “As long as they are not too blaring, I think they’ll work.”

Video on Facebook is about get more defined … literally. Hot on the heels of the previously reported “YouTube HD” project, the social networking giant is now offering all videos in a 1280 by 720 format (720p for you high-def types). Users will also have the option to post these enhanced videos anywhere they please, thereby opening the service up to an entirely new audience. Many within the industry say the move shows that the Facebook team is on track to becoming a major player in the world of online video. The new and improved videos are available now to all Facebook users.

Elsewhere, Google subsidiary YouTube has teamed up with music licensing concern Rumblefish to “bring the noise” (or, if you prefer, music) to an online video near you. Called AudioSwap, the service allows users to add a professionally recorded, completely legal audio track to their video. The only drawback to the service, aside from the fact that none of the Rumblefish bands are exactly “music megastars,” is the fact that the songs will completely erase the current audio track. While the dubbing issues might not be all that important to most users, those who need music/dialog interaction would be wise to look elsewhere. AudioSwap is up and running now.

In other news of the auditory nature, Delicious now has a soundtrack. Thanks to the power of Yahoo’s FoxyTunes music player technology, users can listen to play lists designed to accompany certain bookmark lists. “Our good friends at Delicious are providing a great place to store everything you find on the Internet and have long been committed to supporting mp3 playback,” says Stephen Garcia, manager of the Yahoo Music Blog. “The introduction of Yahoo! Music’s FoxyPlayer extends the playback experience by allowing continuous play of multiple bookmarks as one big playlist.” According to Garcia, several file types and formats are accepted by the service, including podcasts. To use the new service, simply go to the “system:media:audio” tag within Delicious.

And finally, we have KLS Mail Backup. As the name suggests, KLS backs up both your inbox and your browser quickly and effectively.

KLS Mail Backup is compatible with all major email programs and browsers save for Outlook, Opera, and Chrome. An update that would include those programs is supposedly under development.
