Happy 10th!


Yahoo Celebrates 10 Years

Yahoo! celebrates its 10th birthday on Wednesday. Pretty incredible evolution considering the dot-com bust and all the trials and tribulations that the company has been through. I can't think of any other place that I'd rather be working frankly. It's hard to believe that this company is already 10 years old. I remember talking to Jerry Yang at an internet trade show back in 95 at the San Jose Convention Center. He was there promoting his soon to be formed company. He had a piece of paper with the words "Yahoo" scribbled on it, hanging from the meager table that he used to pitch his wares. Ah had I only asked him for a job 7 years sooner than I did.

Anniversary Update
Yahoo threw a great party on Wednesday to celebrate the company's 10th anniversary. A really cool video was shown recapping the evolution of Yahoo, complete with lot's of photos from teh early years. Be sure to checkout the Yahoo Netrospective, a graphical view of the internet and it's evolution over the past 10 years.

Several Yahoo users gave their perspectives on the products that we provide our customers. It was really cool to hear their views on the things that work so hard to present to the world. Mark McGrath and his band Sugar Ray played after all the formal festivities. It was yet another hoedown of opulence...
