Yahoo revisited, MyBlogLog and a FREE TIP

I can’t get social search off my mind and I miss my family – bad.

I just had an extremely exhilirating, very long day and am trying to wind down.

I am still bummed about MacWorld and missing the opportunity to hook up with some San Francisco friends. It has been all New York for 6 months.

The red eye to New York was absolutely brutal. Bad dosage of Ambien and a middle seat. New York is absolutley freezing – take that Gore!

I am very disconnected from the stock market and I feel deprived and lonely at some level, but when you are not 100 percent focused on the stock market, it pays to do little. I read Trader Mike and FLY and the rest of my blogroll and stick to my trends – despite the trading thoughts here and there.

I have been thinking more and more about Yahoo since my post about getting long again and it is amazing how strong I feel about a small acquisition like MyBlogLog potentially reinvigorating a brand. Social search is still a wide open frontier and the book has NOT been written on winners and losers. Yahoo has a WAR chest of power in social search opportunities.

I was checking out the faces on my blog tonight (courtesy of MyBlogLog) and saw that Bradley Horowitz had dropped by. He could have been here for 1 secong or 30 minutes. Not the point at the moment. It’s he was here and he is not hiding and THAT’S COOL at so many levels. MyBlogLog “turns on the lights” as he mentions in a blog post. I like that analogy and hope Yahoo follows through on that simple thought.

I will wind up the night with a SOCIAL NETWORKING TIP. If you are going to go so far as to join a social network – stick your FACE on it. I love all my readers and feel I know them, but I am not Carnac. Let me know who the f#$ck you are already. It’s cute to have a litte animation or animal or logo as your persona – for about 30 seconds. Don’t be a fool. If you are going to be part of a network – JUMP IN!

    Howard,

    Are you sawing you don’t like my collapsing DAM? Pity – I kind of like it b/c not everyone has one!

    I don’t think you would be interested in a picture of my “girlish figure” either.

    I thought to myself, Howard cannot mean me and my bull’s ass. I mean come on it is so original.

    But then I remembered what I said when I first joined mybloglog, that if anyone ever asked to see what I looked like and gave me a reason I might change my mind.

    Of course, I always hoped it would have been some hot babe who was hot to see my mug, not some ADD mid-40 year old sleep deprived refugee from the north…lol. And hey if Bill Rempel was brave eenough to do it, why not.

    So I will do it tonight since you asked Howard and gave a good reason.

    Disclaimer in the spirit of the FLY:

    If you look at my picture your monitor may crack and you may go blind. And, you will lose money.

    the bull was actually better in your case :)

    you could play me in wallstrip when we need a stunt double

    yeah I thought of that…when you become even more rich and famous than you already are…I can be the decoy who walks out of the hotel first just in case someone is angry at you..lol
