Pestering your friends just became a whole lot easier

One of the great benefits of working at Yahoo! is participating with a diverse pool of colleagues in our quarterly Hack Day competitions. Google has its weekly “20% time,” where individuals go off and build whatever they’d like; Yahoo! takes a less time- ... Continue reading »

    Though a bit off the subject, the recent talks between Yahoo! and Microsoft should lead to some interest ap ideas I would think (and hope.)

    For example, it would be wonderful if many of the Microsoft products could integrate seamlessly within a blog like Yahoo 360. Including Powerpoint, Excel docs, whatever, could make it better. (I'm no expert on technology - or other blogging that allows it - but Yahoo does not currently have that.)

    I have turned away somewhat from Yahoo due to it's lack of innovation. I started using heavily back in 1995-96, have had the same email for nearly a decade, but have not seen them move on to bigger things.

    Since you work for them, I hope you can inject some new ideas...

    1) The coordination of personal information to various outlets may require some partnerships to encompass the wide array of products. Maybe through a coordination of 20,30, 50 or 100 top web applications and products where personal information is given, and the promotion of products goes both ways, Yahoo (and your possible partner Microsoft) can establish a network within a network.

    2) Course with the cellular focus and that area, it may require a far different approach. But maybe it is time the partnership you are suggesting come up with a CELL product to compete with APPLE. The Yahoo Music channel is a pretty good thing...could that be included?

    I'm sure there is plenty of ideas....but the consumers are waiting.
