Yahoo Publisher Network gets a blog

I had lunch (on my dime) with some people from Yahoo Publisher Network a few weeks ago and told them I'd be happy to cover anything new that I found interesting on the various blogs I write on - but that I needed an RSS feed to subscribe to for updates. They gave me a sheepish look and said they didn't have one. Amazing, given Yahoo's otherwise great support for RSS.

Now the situation is remedied via the Yahoo Publishers' Network blog. More than just advertising, they tell me, YPN helps content publishers (like bloggers) make the most of Yahoo ads and all the Yahoo various Yahoo services like Upcoming.org, Flickr and Del.icio.us. We shall see. And now we can see by RSS.

Will YPN ever thrive in a space so dominated by Google? At least now we can be kept up to date on what they're doing in their efforts.

Funny caveat: the blog is currently unreadable in Firefox on a Mac, but I'm sure that will be fixed soon.

2. That's a good question Lonnie. You'd think that would be one of the first questions Yahoo answers in a post on this new blog. Some clarity on the roadmap, at least, would be nice. Or at least a straightforward reply to why there's not a public roadmap. Perhaps that sort of thing is the differnce between blogging as transparency and blogging as other things...
