Yahoo! encouraged users to create blogs and photo pages with text and pictures. Now, it wants users to make advertisements too.

On Monday, Yahoo advertises a new look for its facade by asking people to pull out the video camera, open up the editing software and create 12-second commercials for Yahoo. There'll be no prizes for this event. But Yahoo hopes the keenness of its customers will result in great work. The ads will be shown at video.yahoo.com.

"Advertisement by users is just enthusiastic alternative of having customers do testimonial for the site" said Yahoo Vice President Allen Olivo.
