The start-up Zillow will now allow the giant portal Yahoo to show home valuation estimates at its real estate page. Will this cannibalize Zillow's viewership, if Yahoo users know they can get it from Yahoo now -- and will Yahoo then create its own technology and put Zillow out of business? Well, fat chance. Word is, Yahoo moves pretty slowly on these sorts of things, and is more likely to acquire a company than to do an end-run.
