I totally agree with Om - Yahoo is coming back - strong
OK - from my own experiences and POV I can say this:
- Media RSS is the leadership we need in media, subscribing and the web. That’s what podcasting needs. We’re gonna support it in ourmedia.org and we hope others will too.
- Russell Beattie has been helping out in an organization now called Mobile Monday. He brings clear leadership in mobile to Yahoo - just by his sheer presence.
- Jeremy Zawodny is one of those bloggers who groks it all, has a great day job and smirks his way all the way to the A-list. The best part is that he’s got a viewpoint that Yahoo is starting to listen to.
- Then came a Terry Semel quote: “sure we’ll make a lot of money off of Hollywood, but we’ll make more money off of end-users content.”
So I’m digging more on Yahoo every day. I’ve been using MyYahoo since the 2nd month it was available. We’ll always make sure that Yahoo data will flow through OUR Digital Lifdestyle Aggregators (DLAs) - as long as they allow the data to flow. It would be nice to have APIs to ALL the stuff - BTW dudes……
And just the notion of Stewart, Caterina and Ben roaming the hallways of Yahoo brings a smile to my lips like an acid trip multi-player rave insider’s game meets astro-boy right next door to Lockheed kind of scene.
So right on to Om - once again - he’s rocking the house and telling it like it is……
