Has anyone thought that Yang might actually be purposely devaluing Yahoo! to make it completely open source once it’s been de-listed from nasdaq? Then he can buy the whole company on the cheap and go private. Maybe make it an open source foundation then he’ll have the whole world of developers to help make yahoo better. He is a co-founder and probably feels that stockholders have ruined the company. He may also believe that it’s the only way to really compete with google.

Just a thought.

Impressive, and a thoughtful review, too.

Maybe Jerry Yang is what you would think he is: a clumsy business person, but a good technical leader. I don’t know if Jerry Yang actually had anything to do with Yahoo’s technical direction, but it’s hard to imagine Yahoo’s taking steps like this under Terry Semel.

Very excited about YQL. The fact that Gnip is the first external partner certainly helps

This coupled with the continued work on BOSS could lead to some very fascinating stuff.

This is a kick-ass strategy by yahoo. Thats why MSFT badly needs yahoo. Microsoft can’t compete with google without yahoo. Yahoo! is showing us new things and its on the way to regain “Darling of the Web” title.

Yahoo has been talking about this “universal profile system” ever since they revealed they were shutting down 360. The profile system was supposed to be out in the first quarter of 2008. Then Yahoo moved the 360 team to start working on Mash. Mash essentially a beta test for the new profile system technology and software. And then Yahoo finally rolled out the intially stages new profile system…with even less features and functionality than the buggy Mash and even buggier 360.

For now, I have to take anything that Yahoo says with a grain of salt about the size of a football. I’ll believe it when I see it.

I know Im kind of out here on my own with this…but to me this seems like a “me too” reactionary move – betting big on unproven, fashion-driven concepts. “Data Portability”, “Cloud Computing”, “Web 2.0″ – blah.

I have an idea – make your search engine better.

The only thing wrong Yahoo has been doing over the past year is not selling out to Microsoft and Icahn, which pisses TechCrunch (et al) off to no end. This colors the coverage when most of what you see is “FIRE YANG! SELL OUT! MAKE MY MS STOCK WORTH SOMETHING” with a smattering of “oh hey yahoo just released something cool.”

That’s it. No launch failures. No Twitterish outages. No rescinded TOSes. The YHOO bottom line is strong, their technology is good, they are popular, but a lot of people have Microsoft stock that Does. Not. Move. Year after year, so they pinned their hopes on Yahoo and got all mad when MS was spurned.

Techcrunch has no credibility on Yahoo stories. The only “easy to criticize” bit has been that Yahoo didn’t make a celebrity out of themselves, to the ire of Microsoft shareholders.

Yahoo has definitely been most aggressive and a pioneer in the open standards and semantic search. This is just the iceberg – really really excited about this.

I’m excited about the opportunities this will bring, but I haven’t seen a clear monetization strategy for this or many other API moves. Traffic doesn’t always equate to money? Especially when people are using your site via API without even being aware of it.
