@eric s: “But given Microsoft’s takeover bid for Yahoo, which seems more likely every day to succeed, ” Over a month since the bid was rejected, and we still feel MS is taking over Yahoo any . . . day . . . now.

I never used bebo until I had a small app developed for it. Wow, what a piece of shit that social network is. There seems to be a lot of errors, and I really cant stand how everything works.

Facebook, Yahoo, Google, Open Social…..it doesn’t matter. Widgets are the fruit of the new platform era of the internet. Ruby, Ajax, Flash and javascript. These are the environments that will spawn web 3.0.

Incredible apps like Animoto’s slideshow widget are revolutionizing content delivery and end user experiences.

This just means that if microsoft buys yahoo that the victor of facebook vs opensocial will still be a win for microsoft
What better way to win then to ally yourself with both armies
No clear victor = Still no harm to you

I am still shocked that Yahoo hasn’t been able to create their own social network…Either way, good move on their part. Looks like it’s Facebook vs the world!

I am loving the middle finger that Yahoo seems to be repeatedly be giving to Microsoft. Microsoft deserves every bit of it for a number of reasons, but most especially the way they conducted themselves in the late 90s and early 00s.

The first thing that would do if I where Microsoft, that is if they still really want Yahoo, is fire Yang and the rest of the jokers on the corporate level who keep dragging this out and then are attempting to muddy the waters so to speak as if their trying to spite Redmond.

Could you imagine what would have happened if Larry Ellison was after Yahoo?

http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/

Yahoo is almost an open source project now. I use YUI in my new business. They may as well release the server side code too. Then Microsoft would have nothing left to buy as far as IP. Yahoo should make it all BSD.

I do have a gripe about YUI. There is no auto style in the base.css or the other css files for radio buttons, form elements positioning and so forth. Please add that to YUI soon if anybody from Yahoo is reading through.

base.css has a 1px border around tables, and without some preset form element css I am back to using tables to space labels and inputs in fieldsets.

Please Fix that Yahoo!

Sorry, I have to disagree MS are only interested in the ad network and will leave the rest of yahoo much as it is.

Whats to say MS won’t join this at some point in the future anyway.

The headline on this is a bit tabloid

It will be quite interesting to see how this all pans out for users, developers and the social networks alike.

It will end up being a great way for MSFT to be a part of the enemy and know more about them without bending over to them (Google). Keep your friends close and your enemies closer…
