If you’re starting to see significant changes in your Yahoo rankings, that would be because Yahoo just did a big index update. (Rumor has it they may be kicking out non-relevant sites en masse.) The comments on the Yahoo Search Blog — where the Weather Report was announced (after the fact) — aren’t showing the kind of love Y! was getting a while back … when Yahoo was building a lot of good will in the search community by being more transparent than the frustratingly enigmatic Google. Back when they were giving Weather Reports before they made updates.

There’s a very thorough review of Yahoo’s music download service on the Atlanta-Journal Constitution’s “super duper tech help blog.”
Geekboy writes of his explorations: “Music is a powerful thing. I was starting to like this. I felt ashamed. Like somehow I had betrayed geeks everywhere.” But he then goes on to outline what to me would be deal-breaker problems. Geekboy’s review of Yahoo Music Machine was posted today at ajc.com.

YSearchblog posted a great look at how to use Yahoo Video Search to subscribe to podcasts for your video iPod.
And if you’re wondering why it took me so long to even mention Yahoo Search… that’s because, I admit it, I don’t pay as much attention to it. Not because I think #2 doesn’t matter, but because Yahoo handcodes the top 20 results for the top 6% of search terms. Since that 6% includes those terms relevant to my job, it’s just not imperative that I follow Yahoo as closely.
