I'll be working on that TDavid as I work my way through several podcasting ideas I've been having. Rather do it all at once rather than having to keep repeating the process - but yes there will be one.

Sorry TDavid but I can honestly say that I haven't searched for where to find a product I want to buy. *If* I am buying something from the web it is because it is something I have already on my radar which means I know where to find the product. I will say I have used search for navigation purposes but not for buying stuff.

Actually my "affection" for FriendFeed has nothing to do with being an early adopter (which btw isn't a term I would really associate with me :) ). For me FriendFeed; as I have written in the past, is an integral part of my work as a blogger. And I realize that FriendFeed isn't mainstream - I think it will have a hard time getting there as well.
I agree that Yahoo needs to sell off some things as it needs to really re-discover who and what it is as a company.

Heh, just swap del.icio.us and Friendfeed, heh.

Yes I realize that Carl is a major stockholder but as far as I am concerned his actions are causing more problems for Yahoo that they are solving.
As for the suggestion the FriendFeed guys be bought up and put in control of Yahoo - yes that was totally facetious and meant strictly to point out that for Yahoo to make it back from the brink of obscurity it is facing there has to be something really radical and totally unexpected done. I figured that using FriendFeed as a foil in that argument would spark a serious conversation on what can be done. As it stands right now any discussion about the matter is just more of the same old thing and tired ideas.
I want Yahoo to stick around as well but I fear it won't unless something radical an unexpected is done and that doesn't include fire selling it to Microsoft.
