Welcome to the official Yahoo!7 blog aptly named Yodel Down Under.

We’ve not called it a corporate blog on purpose as we intend it to be (in the true spirit of blogging) not too ‘corporate’. So the reality is that it will be a bit ‘corporate’, but the plan is for a range of people from across the Yahoo!7 business here in Australia to post blogs – everything from what goes on at Pier 8 & 9 (Sydney head office) to new products launched, techy stuff for developers and interesting things from the world of online advertising.

“Cripes, just launching a blog now – isn’t that a bit 2004?” Indeed. We’ve in fact had a few different blogs going for a while but thought it might be useful to bring them together into one place and talk about more than just our products. Call it the “greatest hits” of current Yahoo!7 product blogs – with some new stuff too.

Got something to say to us? Cool. Just keep it clean and tidy (no swear words, or discrimination etc etc – you know the drill) and we’ll do our best to address your comments.

All I have left to do is introduce a few of our bloggers – there will be more to come, so this is just an initial taste of what to expect (can you tell I work in PR and marketing). Drum roll please……

Amanda Millar (me) – I’m the PR chick and Aussie developers might also trip over me at one of the Yahoo!7 Open Session events which I help organise.

Sebastian Urban – Technical Yahoo! and occasional foosballer. Seb leads the Search engineering team. If he had three wishes, he would use the second one to create a Lego minifig that looks like him.

Morgan Williams – Morgan’s specialist subjects include Mail, Messenger, Flickr, other online communities and Britain in the Dark Ages.

Harry Burt – Harry heads up the marketing crew here. He’s a Brit but we forgive him.

David Morrison – David is the Media Production Manager. He makes sure all our Media websites are ‘wow’ experiences for our users.

Neil Wilkinson (Wilf) – In additional to having a fully entrenched nickname, Wilf is a pointy-haired geek and long -time Yahoo!7 technology lover/developer/manager.

Aidan Beanland – Aidan is our resident surfer (in fact he’s on leave surfing right now) and SEO (mini) god. Aidan knows how to optimise both the ocean and the internet.

Let us know if there is something in particular you’d like to see on the blog – we’re pumped and we hope you are too!

Amanda
Yahoo!7 Communications Manager
