			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s a few video clips of Yahoo&#8217;s Jeff Weiner, executive vice president of its Network division, onstage at paidContent&#8217;s Economics of Social Media conference on Tuesday.</p>
<p>In the first, he egregiously ignores BoomTown&#8217;s subtle (as a hammer!) way of asking about the Microsoft (MSFT) situation.</p>
<p>In the second, Weiner talks about Yahoo&#8217;s (YHOO) social-networking strategy (translation: this is not yet another social network, because we&#8211;oops&#8211;neglected to build one people liked!).</p>
<p>In the third, he talks about Yahoo&#8217;s &#8220;White Hat&#8221; ad plans to allow consumers to someday pick their own ads.</p>
<p>And, finally, in the fourth clip, Weiner disses YouTube&#8217;s (GOOG) business model (or lack thereof).</p>
<p>Unfortunately not here, our back-and-forth about what kind of food Yahoo would serve if it were a restaurant&#8211;you had to be there&#8211;given its reputation for being all over the map. My suggestion: Everything.</p>
<div class="video-wsj"><embed src="http://s.wsj.net/media/swf/microPlayer.swf" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" flashVars="videoGUID={1519803256}&playerid=4001&plyMediaEnabled=1&configURL=http://wsj.vo.llnwd.net/o28/players/&autoStart=false" base="http://s.wsj.net/media/swf/" name="microflashPlayer" width="320" height="240" seamlesstabbing="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" swLiveConnect="true" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></embed><br />[ See post to watch video ]</div>
<p>But, personally, BoomTown really enjoyed Weiner&#8217;s wire-cutting performance in the Yahoo spoof video, called &#8220;All Hands, the Movie,&#8221; which Yahoo execs made and showed to its troops recently.</p>
<p>Weiner&#8217;s performance, which is at the start in a James-Bond-diffusing-the-bomb moment, is actually really good (and especially compared to other execs, like the golf sadist role for CEO Jerry Yang and the broom-wielding President Sue Decker).</p>
<p>Plus, finally&#8211;a really good use for his legendary &#8220;Miami Vice&#8221; stubble beard. </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a link to Valleywag, which got a <a href="http://valleywag.com/385469/yahoo-makes-even-tipping-valleywag-look-complicated">copy of the full (and quite clever) video</a>, and a screen shot of Weiner below.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday, I traveled to Los Angeles for paidContent&#8217;s second <a href="http://www.econsm.com/">Economics of Social Media</a> conference, which opened last night and is being held all day today at the Skirball Cultural Center.</p>
<p>This morning, I am interviewing Steve Wadsworth, who helms Walt Disney&#8217;s (DIS) Internet businesses.</p>
<p>And after sating myself with as much Club Penguin info as possible, I will be sitting rapt in the front row, as folks like Yahoo&#8217;s (YHOO) Jeff Weiner, Bebo&#8217;s Joanna Shields and AOL&#8217;s (TWX) Ron Grant talk about how social media is going to finally make money. </p>
<p>BoomTown is on a vision quest to answer that question in the coming year, so we are kicking entrepreneurs and taking names!</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a short video I did on the opening night, including talking to paidContent&#8217;s Staci Kramer and Seth Goldstein of Social Media.</p>
<p>But, first, it starts with a tour of my temporary L.A. abode at the home of Mahalo&#8217;s Jason Calacanis:</p>

If they go there will be trouble. And if they stay it will be double.

<p>If they go there will be trouble. And if they stay it will be double.</p>
<p>In other words, BoomTown&#8217;s got nothing!</p>
<p>I am traveling this morning to Los Angeles for paidContent&#8217;s <a href="http://www.econsm.com/">Economics of Social Media</a> conference, where I will interview Walt Disney Internet Group President Steve Wadsworth onstage tomorrow.</p>
<p>But I will be sure to update after I arrive, as I have a new theory on the takeover I am noodling on. </p>
<p>Until then, here&#8217;s a nice <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120928269478947675.html?mod=hps_us_whats_news">summation from The Wall Street Journal here</a>, saying absolutely nothing new too, but nicely hashing over the details thus far.</p>
<p>Money quote: &#8220;There was no direct contact between the two sides this past weekend and people close to both camps said they were preparing for the next stage of battle.&#8221;</p>
<p>Thus, while loins are apparently being girded, here is a very nice video of the Clash, singing their hit song (and how much do I love this song? Much!):</p>
