Yahoo! Party

I just got home from the Yahoo! SES Party, Yahoo has been raising the bar for 10 years. Join us in raising a toast to Yahoo!'s 10th birthday. It was a fun party, pleanty food and drink and many people I met last year in San Francisco made the trip to New York for the Search Engine Strategies 2005 Conference. I never heard so much talk about links and clicks in all my life!

Jerry Yang was there today and on TV tonight and it's always nice to see one of my billionare buddies.

I got a chance to chat with some of the developers about the new Developer Network, their opening up their API's, we're going to be able to use them 5,000 times a day! Or at least we can try...
