Definitely a step in the right direction for Yahoo. Now, for your next trip...more ability to upload content from Yahoo Go (reviews, 360 entries, a better solution for photo upload to Flickr - although I like the upload system for Yahoo Photos).

Go" ;-) Dan, I couldn’t have said it better myself. I like the “smart pipes” bit a lot. Might have to even use it somewhere — with appropriate attribution, of course.

To the Bastille!" Or, more calmly: "GO YAHOO!" I havent followed through all the links yet, but I wanted to give my quick precis and comment first. Is he roughly saying?
