sc: Would a search like 'world trade center in NYC taken on september 11, 2001' make more sense to you?

And Liz, it's great to see you got a gig where they not only put your name on your articles, there's also a great iconic cartoon of you there too. Say hi to your dad! :-)

Yahoo is awesome but missing some easy mashups that would be huge opportunity - how about in yahoo widget address book you click the address and yahoo maps comes up - or - how about intergrating of yahoo contacts with yahoo briefcase for storing documents associated to contact.

Time for yahoo to ask users for feedback not just developers - developers write code but users know what is needed to improve the products.

People have gone mashup-crazy. Granted that some mashups are useful - like maps and weather information, and in this specific case, upcoming and maps. But I don't get mashing up Local and flickr, or flickr and maps.

Why would anyone want to look at photos taken at the "In-and-Out in Mountain View in the last 20 minutes?" To see how crowded it is? I don't get it.
