Yahoo wants a piece of the domain business... looking to acquire DemandMedia

[Zorro]

Demand Media, founded by former MySpace CEO Richard Rosenblatt, has quietly grown into a pretty large business, with rumored revenues of around $250 million, and profitable. It just so happens that what Demand Media is good at - generating lots of advertising impressions and creating niche social networks for media sites, may be a perfect fit for at least some of what ails Yahoo.

There is a similar acquisition target that Yahoo! should look at... and maybe they are looking at them:
www.marchex.com

As of today, Marchex's market cap is: 472.73M
