It, Shine, could really develop into a powerhouse. Laters, Microsoft. Buyout, schmuyout. Yahoo! is relevant, Yahoo! is pertinent. Shades of the late 90’s? We’ll have to wait and see, but from the looks of things…thumbs up! Keep up the good work!:)

I’m glad that you included a link to Shine in your article, ’cause there was nothing about Shine on the Yahoo! home page (a page that gets about 100M monthly UVs). So, on the assumption that the home page team just hadn’t gotten around to a Shine promotion, I searched for Shine in Yahoo! Search. There it was at the top — a nearly invisible single-line “paid” listing for Shine. Just the kind of thing that most searchers blow right past. If this represents the best of Yahoo! marketing, the company deserves its fate at the hands of Microsoft.
