I agree with Dave McClure - Yahoo needs to monetize better. None of their glamerous, open acquisitions has generated any income to speak of - as DNA insertion doesn’t necessarily mean revenue acquisition. I also agree with Dave that Yahoo shoujdl atke the $1B they were willing to spend on Facebook and buy 20 >$50M companies - which collectively would generate more income than Facebook could. Afterall - flow and traffic is not what Yahoo needs - its ways to make money. Otherwise known as ‘monetize’.

One less law suit solved by the VCs cash. I smell a payoff.
I bet Steve Rubel has never met Judith Meskill. The edge at Weblogs wasn;t from Jason DUDE - it’s from Judith. The boss. Geting rid of Jason will just give Weblogs more room to breath.
Webjam launches - sounds like PeopleAggregaor - I wonder if they have source code available as well.
Boo is back! Amazing.
Pete’s right - a MySpace store is what monetization is all about. Lets get all the soft porn addicts to buy things for the ‘musical friends’ via a MySpace branded commerce experience.
Too bad I don’t have our location based entertainment operating system we were working on back in 1995-97 - to sell to these guys.
