M: “Some Lady” is a Google whore who knows nothing about Yahoo. I’d say Yahoo has done some great work of late (YUI for example) that people in the know would know about. Google, on the other hand, can’t seem to market any of their products at all; not exactly the business definition of “cool.”

Dvorak: “Are you implying that Some Lady is not intrinsically cool?”
Me: “I don’t think it’s an implication, I’m pretty much just saying it.”

Paul: The day a video service (any video service) allows you to rotate video clips, let me know. I’m still waiting.

I heard on a podcast the other day, mabe Cranky Geeks. They were discussing the rumors about Yahoo! buying facebook, which has just opened up completely I see.

Some Lady “Yahoo! often just tries to buy it’s way into cool… Google is always the cool company”
Dvorak “Are you implying that Yahoo! is not intrinsically cool ?”
Some Lady “I don’t think it’s an impllication, I’m pretty much just saying it.”

Even more relevent is that later on they same group were discussing how youTube has given everyone this amazingly easy way to get media out there. That apparently no one else has done media online dleivery that well ? Discuss ?

Would this be a similar business strategy for Yahoo that is trying to acquire FaceBook as well? See this round-up for more info:

Thanks for the catch, I got caught up in the moment. Acquisitions make me giddy. =)

“Flickr aficionadoâ€™s”

- no apostrophe needed here
- am I an aficianado? That would be pretty sweet
