+ <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The first time I used Flickr, I knew it was
something <em>different</em> and something <em>important</em>. It took me a
while to figure out and try to articulate exactly what that was, but I took my
first swipe back in September when I called it a <a
href="http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/002526.html";>Next Generation Web
Service</a>. In that posting, I said:</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+
+<p>Flickr has been on my radar for a while now, but I only recently began to
start playing with it. I'm impressed as hell. After my first 10 minutes of
playing with it, I found myself thinking "why don't we build stuff like this at
Yahoo?" In other words, I realized that we could probably learn <em>a lot</em>
from this when it comes to building next generation applications at Yahoo.
(Whether or not we do is a whole separate topic of discussion.)</p>
+
+<p>Flickr has the potential to set the new standard for on-line photo sharing,
management, etc. Why? Because Flickr...</p>
+
+<ul>
+
+<li>does one thing and does it well</li>
+
+<li>provides a clean and simple UI</li>
+
+<li>has clear and helpful documentation</li>
+
+<li>exposes core functionality with a <a
href="http://www.flickr.com/services/api/";>documented API</a></li>
+
+<li>account sign up is brain-dead simple</li>
+
+<li>makes extensive and intuitive use of RSS</li>
+
+<li>like <a href="http://del.icio.us/";>del.icio.us</a>, uses tags to help
organize</li>
+
+<li>doens't spam me with graphical/animated/flash ads or try to unexpectedly
pop up <em>any</em> sort of window</li>
+
+</ul>
+
+<p>In other words, it's developer friendly, user friendly, and is a web site
as well as a "service" or "platform" (in the <a
href="http://www.web2con.com/";>Web 2.0</a> sense) all at the same time.</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>It was around that time that I jokingly responded to every mention of
Flickr at the office with "you know, we should buy them..." And I was only
half joking.</p>
+
+<p>Be careful what you wish for, right? :-)</p>
+
+<p>Since then a lot has happened and I've had the chance to meet the Flickr
team a few times. That has only convinced me even more that they have what it
takes to really change things. Combining their mix of tagging, communities,
syndication, open APIs, and interactive UI with Yahoo's services and millions
of users will lead to even more great stuff.</p>
+
+<p>As Caterina <a
href="http://blog.flickr.com/flickrblog/2005/03/yahoo_actually_.html";>wrote</a>,
this isn't about just throwing millions of users at Flickr or bolting Flickr
onto Yahoo! Photos. Think more deeply about it. There are many parts of Yahoo
that will be Flickrized in the coming months. And with more resources
available, Flickr itself will be able to grow like never before.</p>
+
+<p>Personally, I can't wait. I've been really excited by the potential here
for a while now. And I don't mean the sort of "excited" people say when
they're expected to say it. If only you could ask the people around here that
I've been taking to in recent weeks.</p>
+
+<p>It's such a relief to be able to talk openly about this. There's obviously
more good stuff in the works. For starters, just think about how we could
Flickrize <a href="http://360.yahoo.com/";>Yahoo! 360</a> (and it's not even out
yet!). Oh, and I can finally stop pretending I don't know what my friends are
talking about when they ask if there's something going on between the two
companies!</p>
+
+<p>Sorry, <a href="http://www.bladam.com/archives/0412190006.htm";>Adam</a>.
You guessed wrong on this one.</p>
+
+<h4>To the Flickr Team</h4>
+
+<p>Congrats and welcome to the Yahoo family. It's a big one but you're going
to be a very big part of it. You have a lot of fans here--probably even more
after today. :-)</p>
+
+<p>The next few months are probably going to be crazy. But if any of you have
questions about Yahoo or just want to grab lunch at URL's, give me a
call/email/IM. I'll do anything I can to help.</p>
+
+<p>You guys rock.</p>

+ <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I've been so busy between stuff going on at
ETech and stuff back at Yahoo that I haven't had a chance to even post here.
You probably heard about Yahoo! 360 (our answer to what happens when you
combine your friends, your content (pictures, lists, reviews, etc), and a bit
of blogging fu). I'll write more about it later, probably but am happy to see
that <a href="http://www.yeald.com/Yeald/a/34521/article.html";>some people</a>
"get it."</p>
+
+<p>360 was not designed to be YASNS (Yet Another Social Networking Service).
The goal is not to amass as many "friends" as possible, unlike Friendster,
Orkut, and others. It's about making it easier to share stuff with people who
<em>really are</em> you friends--tne ones you already talk to, email, IM,
etc.</p>
+
+<p>ETech has been great. I even got to ask Jeff Bezos about his space
investments a couple hours ago. What's really cool is that he comes to a
conference like ETech and says around to just check out what's going on an talk
to people. He doesn't fly back to Seattle as soon as his talk is done or blow
people off. He's right at home among the geeks here.</p>
+
+<p>Speaking of Amazon, Udi Manber of a9.com told me he's heading to Tuscon for
PC Forum after this. He's taking the gps and camera equipment with him so that
he can drive the streets and get more pictures for their sidewalk view of the
area. We also got to chat a bit about the <a
href="http://opensearch.a9.com/";>Open Search</a> via RSS concept that Jeff
demonstrated yesterday.</p>
+
+<p>So much cool stuff, so little time.</p>
+
+<p>Also, while I'm doing an ETech inspired braindump of sorts, here's a
mini-linkdump too:</p>
+
+<ul>

+ <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In <a
href="http://battellemedia.com/archives/001312.php";>Grokking Transparensee</a>,
John Battelle said the following:</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+This is powerful stuff when you think about it, and it solves a core database
search issue, at least for me: you know there is the right answer for the query

+</blockquote>
+
+<p>He's referring to <a href="http://transparensee.com/";>Transparensee</a>'s
<a href="http://transparensee.com/products/";>Discovery Search Engine</a>. He
did a decent job of explaining what it is, but it's really one of those "you
really have to try it before you'll get it" technologies.</p>
+
+<p>Luckily Steve Lavine (the founder and CEO of Transparensee Systems) walked
me through a few demos some time ago. As their site indicates, the technology
can be applied to a variety of "vertical search" markets:</p>
+
+<ul>
+
+<li>real estate</li>
+<li>dating</li>
+<li>restaurants</li>
+<li>many types of shopping and product comparison</li>
+
+</ul>
+
+<p>It's pretty cool stuff. I expect that we'll see a lot more of this in the
coming months. Searching structured databases really shouldn't be any harder
than searching the web, but it often is. The "fuzzy" searching capabilities
their technology adds does a good job of closing that gap.</p>
+
+<p>The more I think about it, I realize that this is the perfect case of a
product that could benefit from a <a
href="http://weblog.infoworld.com/udell/2005/02/21.html#a1182";>screencast</a>.
I'll mention that to Steve.</p>]]></content:encoded>

algorithmic search market? Or would you go after the <em>real money</em>
too?</p>
+
+<p>To quote their filing from last year:</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+We derive most of our revenues from fees we receive from our advertisers.
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>Luckily, they haven't forgotten their roots:</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+Our original business model consisted of licensing our search engine services
to other web sites. In the first quarter of 2000, we introduced our first
advertising program...

interesting.</p>

+ <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems that the portalization of Google
comes up now and then. I just ran across a <a
href="http://www.technosailor.com/google-news-customization";>this quote</a> on
<a href="http://www.technosailor.com/";>Technosailor</a>:</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+It seems Google is trying to experiment with elements of portal sites like My
Yahoo! but still trying to remain in the business of purely search and
rejecting the elements of portalhood that it doesn’t like. I’m not
so sure you can be on both sides of the fence.
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>Yeah, I'd agree with that. You can't be on the fence and Google is headed
to portaldom. But I think people are focusing on the wrong question, really.
The question they should be asking is this:</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+What will the next generation portal look like?
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>If their current products are any indication, most things fit into a "one
box" view of the world. By that I mean that each of their major properties
have an obvious text input box and one or two buttons. The interaction is in
one of two modes:</p>
+
+<ol>
+
+<li>Type into the box and hit the button. Look at results.</li>
+
+<li>Use other navigation to browse. Repeat.</li>
+
+</ol>
+
+<p>It seems that Froogle, Logal/Maps, and Search (Web, Image,
<strike>Transcript</strike> Video) are clearly in mode #1. While Mail and
Groups are unevenly split between #1 and #2. That's not terribly surprising,
since those two are more about communication and interaction.</p>
+
+<p>In other words, you may or may not begin by "searching" but will likely end
up navigating content that may have ads nearby. But I suspect that 95% or more
of their current "sessions" begin with a search of some sort. After all,
Google is a <strike>advertising</strike> search company.</p>
+
+<p>I'm not convinced that the "one box" view of the world is going to be the
primary mode of interaction over the next few years. Are
you?</p>]]></content:encoded>

href="http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/003921.html";>the time before</a>,
last night's <a href="http://106miles.org/";>106 Miles</a> gathering was
excellent.</p>
+
+<p>Who is Jeff Winner? As the site said:</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+
+Jeff Winner is a principal in venture accelerator Alacrity Partners. He was
most recently VP of engineering at Friendster, leading the well-known scaling
and performance rewrite. Previous posts include Demandtec, eGroups, Netscape,
Collabra, and Verity.
+
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>In other words, he's been around the block a few times in Silicon Valley.
He's learned a lot and had much to share with us about the world of VCs,
startups, scaling companies, and so on.</p>
+
+<p>Much of what was said is off the record, but I think everyone learned a lot
from Jeff's honesty and experiences. One amusing think we did learn is that
VCs don't want to fund enterprise software startups. That's just not
interesting to them at all.</p>
+
+<p>Nobody was surprised by that either. :-)</p>
+
+<p>There were a lot of new faces at 106 Miles this time and I hope to see many
returning next time. Amusingly, when the topic of "how you learned about 106
Miles" came up at my table there were three common answers:</p>
+
+<ol>
+
+<li>Read about it on Jeremy's blog</li>
+
+<li>Read about it on Joyce's blog</li>
+
+<li>I'm a friend of Joyce</li>
+
+</ol>
+
+<p>Blogs are the new grapevine.</p>
+
+<p>Thanks again to Joyce and CommerceNet for making 106 Miles
happen.</p>]]></content:encoded>

+ <title>Lunchtime Blogging Presentation by Charlene Li</title>
+ <link>http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/004320.html</link>
+ <description> Forrester analyst and blogger Charlene Li spoke to a
packed room of marketing, PR, and other interested folks today at Yahoo. Her
hour-long talk covered many aspects of blogging, corporate marketing, PR, and
what she believes Yahoo can do. Luckily, she was able to skip most of the intro
material since blogs really aren't new to Yahoo at this point. Instead she
focused on what works, what doesn't, and how blogging is a mindset--not a
technology. Amen to that!...</description>

recommendations to us was... get this: more blogs!</p>
+
+<p>I don't think that surprised anybody. But it's always good to hear it from
the outside.</p>
+
+<p>Of course, she used me as an example a few times. I kind of expected that.

+ <title>The Relief of Leaving a Job</title>
+ <link>http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/004319.html</link>
+ <description>I've noticed a funny thing in the last year or so. The
vast majority of the time someone I know leaves a job (or is fired) two trends
seem to recur: A sense of relief: "I'm so glad I'm not at that
place anymore." A complete loss of "spare" time: "I'm
busier now than when I was working full-time!" Maybe everyone should
change jobs once or twice a decade? Maybe people should ask themselves a bit
more often one question:...</description>

most. As an example, while browsing a store on Sunday we came across Diet Beer:
And the fact that Budwiser is an import in Japan, and therefore more desirable
by some, takes a bit of getting used to as well. All in all, I had a good trip.
I'll surely have more to say about it in the next few
