My employer Yahoo! announced the acquisition of Citizen Sports yesterday. As an avid user of their iPhone application Sportacular, I can personally attest that get social and sports really well, and it’ll be interesting to see what they do hooked into the #1 sports destination on the web in Yahoo! Sports.

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010Happy 15th Birthday to Yahoo!
Monday, March 1st, 2010
My employer Yahoo! is celebrating it’s 15th birthday. That’s quite an amazing feat for an internet company, as it doesn’t seem all that long ago that I was first checking out Yahoo! as a high school senior browsing with NCSA Mosaic when it first started to grow.
Yahoo! has had it’s fair share of trials and tribulations over the years, but it’s gone through and emerged from all the phases of the web as a leader, and continues to be a leader in so many areas today.
As part of the 15th celebration, the company is holding a Twitter contest worth checking out.

(more…)Yahoo! Web Analytics Launches
Wednesday, October 8th, 2008
My employer Yahoo! announced today they’ve launched Yahoo! Web Analytics which was formally known as IndexTools.
The product is rolling out to various customer segments through the rest of year. It looks like Yahoo! Small Business merchants, advertisers making microsites, and developer partners will be the first to get access. I believe previoius IndexTools customers already have active accounts.
As an analytics nut, I must admit I’m ashamed to have not used it, although I did give IndexTools a test run before the Yahoo! acquisition. From my experience I felt like as a free product under Yahoo! it was a more powerful application than Google Analytics, so I think it will be well received in the analytics market.
