"We see an opportunity to provide publishers and advertisers with a pipeline for fresh and active content and to help them reach and engage their most valuable audiences."Irving says Livestand will debut in the first half of 2011, and it will make Yahoo's sports, news, and finanical content available, as well as Flickr, omg!, and the Yahoo!

Yahoo is following companies such as Flipboard, Catalogs.com, and News Corp, who have released "magazines" for tablets."With Livestand, we're using ad formats that evoke the emotion of TV advertising with a highly-visual magazine-like experience. And they're combined with the effectiveness of an Internet ad that's data-rich, actionable, even location aware," Irving said on Thursday.For the last six years, Yahoo has unveiled dozens of different ways for users to access Yahoo content on mobile...
