The death of Glitch, the birth of Slack

https://www.johnnyrodgers.is/the-death-of-glitch-the-birth-of-slack/
Glitch was an unusual, clever, heartfelt game. Within the realm of Ur, dreamt by eleven magical Giants, players created playful new identities for themselves. They designed and clothed their avatars to their heart’s content, delighting in new hats and a rainbow of possible skin tones. They crafted working music boxes and decorated their architecturally-unlikely homes.

Yahoo! Has Probably Destroyed the Most History, Ever – And Historians Need to Wake Up | Ian Milligan

http://ianmilligan.ca/2013/04/03/yahoo-sucks-historians-wake-up/
This stuff matters. If we want to be the profession that leads the way in understanding and interpreting the past, we should be part of this conversation, or at the very least learn and see how we can help out. I should note here, quickly, that I know there are historians who care. I follow them on Twitter and they’re awesome. But they’re a small minority of the profession, and that needs to change. This doesn’t just affect digital historians, it affects historians. Our very profession.

Yahoo's 'Manhattan' To Rescue Web From the iPad | Wired Enterprise | Wired.com

http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2011/11/yahoos-manhattan
On Wednesday, Yahoo launched a virtual newsstand atop its site — dubbed Livestand — and Manhattan will provide a means of building digital publications for this service. But developers will also have the freedom to run their apps wherever they like. The only restriction is that applications must be built with standard web technologies. Early next year, before the arrival of Manhattan, Yahoo will open-source a programming platform dubbed “Mojito.” Based on a widely used open source project known as Node.js, Mojito will allow developers to build entire applications with JavaScript, the web’s standard scripting language. Typically, JavaScript is used to build an application’s front end — the bit that runs on the user’s device — but with Node.js and Mojito, you can also use JavaScript on the back end — the bit that runs on the server.

Yahoo! OpenID: Now more powerful and easier to use (Yahoo! Developer Network Blog)

http://developer.yahoo.net/blog/archives/2009/09/yahoo_openid_hybrid.html
"We're happy to announce support for the OpenID OAuth Hybrid Protocol, which combines OpenID authentication (sign in) with OAuth authorization (access control) in a single interface. The Hybrid Protocol makes it easy for the hundreds of millions of Yahoo! users to sign into websites with a Yahoo! account, and to enable two-way data sharing of their Profile, Contacts, and Updates, without having to register a new site-specific account or share their Yahoo! password."

Injury, or a normal condition of working at Yahoo!? "I got a piece of glass out of my foot this morning and it started bleeding but the blood was purple! Not dark red, it was actually purple! After I cleaned it and put pressure on it it marblized into a bluish colour then went back to red. What just happened?"

"yesterday we put jumpcut into a long deep sleep. well sort of. we disabled uploads so you can’t upload any more clips which means you can’t do anymore editing, which is the whole point of the site. you can still watch the videos you’ve created in the past but that’s about it. these are sad times. some of our jumpcut family got laid off last week and now jumpcut is in this sad state. this is what a whole lotta work, a whole lotta fun has become. it’s sad"

kewlchops: Not quite what I had in mind.

http://george08.blogspot.com/2008/12/not-quite-what-i-had-in-mind.html
""I'll just get straight to the point. You've been affected by the layoffs." ... I watched as my access to various parts of the guts of Flickr fell away. I noticed how naturally I searched for any and all bits I could think of, just in the hope that it still existed. But no. I was shut out entirely within about 14 hours of the phone call. ... I was beginning to feel humiliated, particularly given what I was up to. You know, being in Taiwan at an international conference to talk about my work."

Media: Why the Yahoo feeding frenzy?

http://valleywag.com/5107029/why-the-yahoo-feeding-frenzy
Yes, unexpected lucidity from Valleywag, but this is why it's so sad: "Yahoo, meanwhile, sees a place for human beings in a future media landscape that is increasingly automated. That's why the emotion that Yahoo attracts isn't anger, but sadness; not rage, but disappointment. Yahoo could be so much better than it is, if only it weren't saddled with visionless leaders, subpar management, and a do-nothing board."

SitePoint » The Single Sign-On War Will Ruin OpenID

http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2008/10/30/the-single-sign-on-war-will-ruin-openid
"Google and Yahoo! (and likely Microsoft to follow) are ultimately competing with one another to become the branded single sign-on solution for the web. The good news for users is that by using the same underlying technology, most relying parties will able to turn on support for any new OpenID provider fairly easily. The bad news for users is that since none of the major providers are also relying parties, using services at each of these site still requires multiple accounts. Further, a sign in box with 100 different logos for 100 different providers isn’t a great user experience."

How Yahoo dropped the del.icio.us ball with a pointless 3 year rewrite (from mod_perl to PHP) : reddit.com

http://www.reddit.com/comments/6v4yw/how_yahoo_dropped_the_delicious_ball_with_a
I'm on pretty much the same page as Joshua. I was amazed it launched, which is a credit to the remaining team of heroes. It'll be interesting to see what happens now—given a 2-3 year innovation time-debt, a brand-new bespoke infrastructure, and a load of enqueued we'll-fix-it-laters. Selected joshu quotes: "I think the open question now is whether the remaining team will be able to innovate or be stuck in complicated codebase hell. ... I have significant regret over what ended up happening with Delicious. We could have gone so much farther. ... engineering was focused on the rewrite so nobody had time to replace the old search engine ... They had the technology, but the relevant staff had higher priorities."

Offer Personal Content Recommendations for Free with New MyBlogLog Plug-in - ReadWriteWeb

http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/personal_content_recommendations.php
Hey, Delicious should finally do something like this: "When a MyBlogLog visitor visits a site with the plug-in running, the system looks at the tags that user provided for their interests when they created their MyBlogLog account. It then finds blog posts with the same categories or tags and serves them up in a widget. "

osunick · Delicious 2 = new hotness

"To me this is a great moment as I spent virtually all of the last 18 months preparing for this launch. While I did my best to make sure that my absence didn’t affect the launch, I still wondered if there was some loose end that I forgot to tie. If there was, someone must have caught it because the entire thing unfolded beautifully!"
