    Jen,

    Great overview and as a yhoo shareholder who has gone through a lot these past couple months, I am glad that they are finally doing something right.

    Hi Jen,

    Sounds like you had a fun time and thanks for a great review. I really hope they keep the keyword traffic tool – not sure I could live without it!

    Jen, what’s your take on whether this new system will allow Yahoo to regain some of the market share they’ve lost to Google? (http://www.threetwentyinteractive.com/2006/10/google-pulls-away.htm)

    They’re falling further and further behind, and it’s no surprise to me. This stuff all sounds good, but is it enough to stop the slide?

    So still no news about coming out of beta? If only they (and other companies) had used a different word, such as test or trail, then they would have had a better image.

    Well, they could do a Flickr and leave beta for gamma :P

    Features are okay, I guess … but the issues I and many other advertisers are most concerned about are engineering/programming fixes. There are many serious problems with Y!’s code, their accounting math, their reporting … when will we hear more about what they are doing to improve their programming? You can’t keep piling on features when the foundation is rotting and expect to survive … unless you’re Microsoft.
