What’s the deal with Yahoo lately?  Personally I’m a big fan of their products.  I use their email — Flickr — my personal home page is Yahoo driven.  And I use Yahoo mobile on my blackberry — its great.  The other day is synced my BlackBerry address book with my Yahoo mail address book — very cool.  They regularly sponsor Yahoo Hack Days. They were one of the first big companies to make an ajax toolkit available.  They use Drupal for internal projects.  Sure, google has a lot of cool stuff too, but Yahoo somehow feel friendlier and more open to me.  So why do they sound like they’ve lost their way?  Hopefully they’ll get themselves straightened out and back on course.  And please don’t let Microsoft buy them!
