This post began as a potential comment somewhere on 0xDECAFBAD but I couldn’t really decide which post it belonged on so I have decided to post it here instead. I know that l.m.orchard occasionally viewed my old blog thanks to MyBlogLog, so I’m hoping that he might stumble across this one. If so perhaps he will see this post and respond. As an added bit of insurance I’ll be sending him the link via del.icio.us :D.
So here it is:
You are probably the only [former]yahoo employ I have ever had any sort of discussion with so I wonder if I could pick your brain about something. I’ve lately been kinda worried about all the data I have stored in various yahoo services (especially when I heard the M$ rumors). What do you think will happen when it gets swallowed up by M$ or some other giant? Yahoo has been pretty good about allowing the vision behind the companies it has acquired to continue. I’m uncertain if another company would have the same management philosophy, especially if that company happened to be Google or M$.
p.s. While this is directed at deusx anyone should feel free to respond especially if you have some inside knowledge of Y!.
