Mobile Search

Yahoo on Tuesday debuted a new feature that enables people to opt out of mobile ads that are based on behavioral targeting. The announcement was made on its Yahoo Policy Blog and is the Web portal's latest effort toward its commitment to consumer data privacy.

V-Enable, a local search company, has extended its partnership with InfoGroup in a push for growth. The company will now be appending InfoUSA's database — which includes more than 14 million US businesses and 137 million consumers — to its products in an effort to improve the accuracy and depth of its local search offerings.
