YPN’s Will Johnson interviewed by Chris Pirillo at SES San Jose

September 15, 2005

Will Johnson, VP and GM of the Yahoo Publisher Network was interviewed at SES San Jose by Chris Pirillo. If you attended SES, Will spoke on the same contextual advertising panel as I did, and many know Chris of Lockergnome and Gnomedex fame.

The interview is lengthy, about twenty minutes, and covers a wide range of topics. Some of the juicier tidbits I noted include ads in RSS (which I noticed yesterday), direct deposit likely being added soon, as well as a search box functionality.

He also talks about the possibility of a blog to keep publishers updated with the latest from the YPN team.
