Gosh, I hope Yahoo! stays around. I love My Yahoo! homepage. Lists all the RSS feeds and blogs I follow, with summary statements and click-thrus to the sites for detail. Can drag and drop sections of My Yahoo! home page to organize the display. So easy. I can see in an instant what my LinkedIn buddies are doing. Such a busy bunch!!

I like the tag suggestions Yahoo! gives in WordPress, through the WordPress plug-in, Tag Warrior (author Christine Davis). Very nice, automatic.

Layoffs at Yahoo! Leave a trail of Tweets.
As expected, about 1,500 workers at Yahoo! lost their jobs as part of cost-cutting moves designed to save the portal about $400 million in annual operating expenses. Some laid-off and remaining Yahoo! workers blogged about the experience via Twitter or left comments on industry site Silicon Alley Insider. Yahoo! co-founder and onetime Chief Executive Officer Jerry Yang announced the move on the company blog.
