Ravi’s Blog

Interesting to see yahoo! executives embrace public blogging. ysearchblog’s first entry by jeff weiner - whom i had the pleasure to interact with - reads very much like him in our corporate all-hands. It is largely chest thumping and yodeling (inspiring to us yahoo!s) but not much else.

In future, i would hope to see this evolve into a bit more than marketing vehicle for ysearch with some paperclip guy posting search tips. Ofcourse there is a need for us to publish and document all the features our sites better, but i am hoping ysearchblog will be more than that.

I am hoping to see meaningful discussions where all folks share their vision of where the search world is going evolve, or commentary about some real problems we have solved or attempted to solve.

To be clear, i don’t think that this copy on the blog is marketing edited. I can picture jeff standing up on the podium and rolling off those bullet points about our achievements fluidly. JR’s sense of humor is the same in this blog, as it is in all his emails.

Well, this is the first step in the right direction. I am hoping that we get more open, comfortable and communicate more often.
