Eat my shorts and do have a cow in honor of Matt Groening’s 54th birthday. After you’ve done your best “doh,” take a look through our futurama updates.

  • Popcorn not included: We’ve added one more reason for you to cozy up with your sweetie. Add the My Netflix module to your My Yahoo! page and get instant access into your Netflix account without leaving your page. You can see what the “Top Rentals” are or what’s new and hot for a special evening. Or get a status update on what movies are on their way to your home. Read more here.
  • New and improved: Yahoo! Video look a little different to you? Not to worry, you’re not going crazy. We’ve made some changes to make the site the one-stop shop for all video on Yahoo!, whether it’s news, sports, movies or music. You now get a wider and cinematastic (16:9 player view in fact) viewing experience, bigger files so you can upload higher quality files (up to 150 megabytes), and also curate your own video experience beyond embedding your own individual videos to your blog or site. There’s more, read about it here.
  • Putting the My in MyBlogLog: Just think, how cool it would be to personalize your site with your MyBlogLog community. With the new MyBlogLog plugin you can now instantly display members from your MyBlogLog community on your site. The plugin lets you display a widget of your most active MyBlogLog members, helps you to manage a members’ list page, and view a detailed members profile page. Just think of all the social bookmarking opportunities! One caveat, the plugins only work if you’ve already got a Yahoo! API key, but not to fret if you don’t. You can apply for the beta at developer.yahoo.com/mybloglog . Check out what else the team’s brewing here.

The Yahoo Video really looks good. The quality, and more important, the load time of the video’s greatly increased in my opinion. Sometimes the video didn’t load immediately.

Keep improving it!

at present, in my opinion, if Yahoo wants to go out the difficulties, one way is to develop multiple brands, not just Yahoo. Such as P&G, it is a successful sample to develop multiple brands all over the world.
The reason for developing multiple brands is that the user needs a unique gate for certain service, not just using Yahoo. because different service needs different style, so it need a unique gate to enter other than all applications are used under one brand of Yahoo.
another side is that it is difficult for user to use many applications under one Yahoo brand, user need to adjust his habit from one applications to another one.
afterthat, by multiple brands, there is a competition among these applications, and then the best will be kept.
