Yahoo Gets Friendly
Yahoo seems to be shedding its stodgy, faceless company image, as evidenced in this latest post at Yahoo! Search blog. Yahoo may not have Google's sense of humor, but it is developing a decent relationship with its customers, by posting about and fixing problems people bring to them.

Now that would be a great public service.
