I always find it interesting watching how Yahoo Japan works compared to Yahoo USA. Yahoo Japan To Boost Stake In Yumenomachi Souzou-Iinkai at Forbes reports that Yahoo Japan has increased their stake in Yumenomachi, an Internet food delivery business, to almost 42% – up from a 23% stake.

I know this isn’t very search related, but if Google bought a piece of a food delivery business, everyone would be talking about it. I found the report pretty interesting and a bit humorous, so I figured I would highlight it just to lighten things up.
