Make Digital Preservation Easier
If major companies think it’s too hard or costly to leave up user-generated content, perhaps we need to change the motivations.

How To Checkmate Yourself
The parlor games hosted by Yahoo! once represented some of the internet’s best efforts at interactivity. But that didn’t last. Here’s how Yahoo! Games lost.

Why I think Marissa Mayer should buy Automattic
PandoDaily reports that Yahoo! has sold half its stake in Alibaba for $4.5 billion. Their take is that Yahoo! needs one or two big products to turn the company around, and that Marissa Mayer should look to successful large acquisitions like PayPal and YouTube. I agree. And I can't think of a better company for them to buy than Automattic, the company behind WordPress. For every 100 new domains names in the US, 22 of them run WordPress. Around 10% of all websites in the world run WordPress. Tho

A pretty good day for Marissa Mayer: why Yahoo! could still win
Not only was she named as the new Yahoo! CEO today - but she's also announced that she's expecting her first child. That's up there with Mark Zuckerberg's graduation-IPO-wedding triple whammy earlier this year. At the time of writing, Yahoo! is worth over $19B. It's certainly languished for the better part of a decade, and some of its leadership choices have been questionable. But it's huge in Asia, its news and sports sites are the #1 in their respective categories, its APIs are widely used, Y

Delicious: not so tasty now
He's dead, Dave. Everybody's dead. Everybody is dead, Dave. It’s the end of the road: Delicious, one of the darlings of the “Web 2.0” movement, is being shelved. The social bookmarking site was famous for its simple interface, which introduced tags and cloud services to the world, not to mention creative use of available domain names, bookmarklets and social networking for a purpose. Its creator, Joshua Schachter, is a smart guy whose opinions about software design are worth taking seriously.

Public IT project hell: let’s make government work for us
Why does it cost $235 million to integrate a few IT systems? Johannes Ernst contrasts the Yahoo/Facebook deep integration announcement with the US government’s announcement that they will spend $235 million on integrating incompatible healthcare IT systems, and asks some pertinent questions: I assume we all agree that an environment in which leading-edge companies innovate on their own to the benefit of their customers is better than one in which the government has to spend large amounts of mo

Building the user-centered web
The following post contains my notes for a talk I gave at the Hauser Center for Nonprofit Organizations at Harvard University on June 25, 2009. What is a social network? I would like to reclaim some language: Social is an adjective that means relating to human society and its members. A network is an interconnected system of things or people. Therefore, I’d suggest that we can define a social network as just being an interconnected system of people. The audience of this talk is a social ne

Yahoo Pipes
Background:Yahoo’s launched an interesting and innovative new service, Pipes, which lets users with a relatively low degree of technological expertise combine structured sources of web data such as feeds. In this way, it’spossible for non-experts to create new web services for their own use or for…

I am okay with my Yahoo sign-in.
I’ve seen a lot of weird, very belated, hand-wringing about Flickr requiring early adopter users to sign in with their Yahoo accounts. This is prompted, I understand, by those users having gotten an email letting them know about the required change. Now, I was a very early Flickr user, and as soon…

The Story Is What You're Reading
Here are the things to look at on the Internet today. - India’s President, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, asks Yahoo Answers, “What should we do to free our planet from terrorism?” The answers cover the gamut you’d expect, but this is the most surprising stunt question I’ve seen on Y!Answers yet. They can…

It's the circle of (web) life!
Picture Terry Semel holding a little lion cub up in the air with both arms extended. What’s that? It’s the Circle of Life! Well, maybe Circle of Life 2.0? Okay, enough Lion King — maybe it’s just Justin Timberlake again: “What Goes Around… Comes Around”. The story I’m referring to is how each…

Portalization Proceeds
A few years ago, I wrote a post called Portalization which showed a Yahoo homepage screenshot with certain services grayed-out, as an indicator of which corresponding tools Google offered. It was a look at how Google’s feature set had expanded with the (then-new) Gmail, and inspired some comments…

This is what you should read on the web
- So maybe Gracenote (formerly CDDB) isn’t evil after all? I love anything that challenges the conventional wisdom, especially when someone’s gotten a bad rap. Good reporting, Eliot Van Buskirk! I’d been accepting the received wisdom about this company for years, apparently unfairly. Do we have a…

The Flip 2K5
Or, “Yahoo bought everyone on my buddy list, and all I got was this t-shirt”. Following up on the discussion about Web 2.0 from last week, the only thing as glaring as who was missing from the room was the talk of a new bubble. I can’t even count how many blog posts and skeptical articles I read…

Yahoomba
Yahoo just bought Bloomba’s creators, Stata Labs. And promptly shut down downloads. While it seems like a nice feature to complement Oddpost in the presumable future Yahoo Mail, it’s a bummer that we can’t download the app in the meantime. I also didn’t realize that I literally work down the street…

Content Targetting for Personal Ads
Sure, personal ads are one of the biggest money-makers on the web, with everyone from InterActiveCorp to Friendster being involved in the space, and of course content-targetted ads are raking in huge bucks for Yahoo/Overture and Google, but has anybody combined the two yet? I want to see…

subtle overtures
You know, back when AltaVista was a big deal for DEC, I figured it was going to kill Yahoo, since Yahoo only had a directory and AV had full-text indexes of huge numbers of pages. Sure, AV hasn’t kept its former glory, but it’s still a damned good search engine and now Yahoo owns it, along with…

If you look at the "buzz" section on my portal, you can see that I like to check up on what’s popular on the web. The only link on there that I regularly check is Yahoo’s Most Popular page, and I’ve been able to tell from following the subjects or links of other people’s blogs that I’m not the only…
