YAHOO! SEARCH MARKETING MOVES TO BURBANK

Burbank is adding a new company to the many media-related corporations situated here. Yahoo! Search Marketing began relocating its Pasadena employees to Burbank in spring 2005 and by summer 2006, the transfer will be complete. By year end, the group will include more than 1,500 new employees at the creative campus called Media Studios North, located at 3333 Empire Avenue, near Bob Hope Airport.

Yahoo! Search Marketing's relocation here is great news for Downtown Burbank. Make sure you welcome them when they visit Downtown Burbank, and let them know how glad we are to have Yahoo! here. Welcome signs and special offers are a great way to make employees feel at home, and let them know that Downtown Burbank is a great place to Come Out & Play!

Yahoo! Search Marketing offers sponsored search, contextual advertising and other products on the web, providing the industry's most comprehensive suite of search marketing and related products and services.

DO YOU WI-FI?
Surfing the web in Downtown Burbank is as easy as 1-2-3. And best of all, it is free. All a customer needs is a laptop with a wireless card (most models built after 2002 have them already installed. Even without a built-in receiver, it is easy to buy and install a "wireless card" from any major computer store.) Downtown's Wi-Fi coverage area extends from the Holiday Inn to Burbank Boulevard, and from the Metrolink Station to Glenoaks. The hotspot offers many opportunities for users to access the Internet on laptops, notebooks, smart phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs) or hand-held game devices.

If you haven't tried using this latest step in computer technology, please check out the complete "how-to" on the Downtown Burbank website, www.downtown-burbank.org.
