We Now Interrupt Our Regularly Scheduled Program

OMG! I am so friggon ticked I did this with all the links and if you do preview now you can't get the page up and lose everything. This is copied from ms_cornwall, below is her link and the jerry-yang link. If you want the link to the other bloggers go to her page please. This is being copied with permission from ms. Thank you ms and my two cents...we are not all baby boomers. I have lots of friends that are much younger. I am just sick of this and it's getting worse. I will be at multiply until I get home from my trip. I will check on you if I can. I am getting no page, blogs up from last summer when I refresh. blah blah

So I am posting over here since so many of you can't get the pages up at yahoo.

This first link is ms_cornwall's

I couldn't do links over there either so just deal ok?

My friend Norma Dawn posted this earlier and I think it is definitely worth a read. So, if you are interested in the future of 360 and all that you might want to read this and feel free to leave your comments.

A word from Jerry Yang, CEO & Chief Yahoo


I have taken this from Cherei's page, as requested by her! I think it is important to get the word out to everyone on 360 and let's get our point across to the big-wigs on Yahoo. I wrote to the CEO of Yahoo and told him how I felt... why don't you? It can't hurt, and it really could help. Maybe we will get to keep 360 the way it is, plus get the things fixed that have been needing fixing for a long time now. Please take the time to write Mr. Yang! Thanks!

Want to tell the CEO of Yahoo exactly WHAT you think.. Then, go to his blog and tell him. If you read his page.. all you will see are mainly "rah-rah", "whataguy", "you're so brilliant", etc... It would seem he's being insulated from what the users of the Yahoo360 REALLY think. Now, is YOUR chance to go over and tell him. You will have to give your email address and leave a name.. not the whole name.. but.. at least something.

Feel free to snag this blog and the previous blog entry! Spread it FAR and WIDE !!!! He needs to hear from us.. ALL of us! NOW, before it's to late. A bit of HIS blog entry....

Where does Yahoo! head next?

October 16th, 2007 at 3:13 pm by Jerry Yang, CEO & Chief Yahoo
In Trends & News

There’s been much curiosity and speculation about what’s been happening here at Yahoo! over the past few months. Roughly 100 days into our business review, I’m ready to start sharing some of the framework for where we see the future of Yahoo!.

After I last posted in July, we gathered senior leaders from across the company to develop a vision that we believe is truly different from that of the past. blah, blah, blah..... (inserted by me..)

Our new decision-making framework also informed what we’d no longer invest in. To start, we’ve de-emphasized our focus on subscription music in favor of ad-supported music, migrated Yahoo! Photos to Flickr,

we intend to transition Yahoo! 360 to a more integrated Yahoo! “profile” experience,

we’ve closed Yahoo! Podcasts and plan to shut down a number of one-off services, and we’re currently assessing our options for our Kelkoo comparison shopping service in Europe. We’ve identified still more areas and we’ll continue to work through them.

While our recent actions and initiatives provide the breadcrumb trail for Yahoo!’s future direction, you should now have a clearer sense of the new path we’ve charted. We’ve scripted our strategy, sharpened our organization, determined how we’ll prioritize, and zeroed in on our big bets. We’re in the midst of our transformation and seeing some initial progress. There’s hard work ahead, along with a large and growing market opportunity. If we execute as planned, I’m confident we’ll be creating substantial long-term value for our users, advertisers, publishers, and developers – and, of course, for our shareholders.

CEO and Chief Yahoo

For those of you that would like to get the NEW Yahoo blog.. here is the starting point.. CLICK HERE . (Cherei) The Yahoo 360 team may NOT be reading your comments.. but, I spent a good part of tonight reading them.. Together.. we can ALL help find a solution! We all have the same goal.. keeping the 360. The CEO needs to hear from US!

UPDATE: This is about saving the Yahoo 360.. I'm spreading the word as much as possible. I've also written Google.. to tell them of HOW the baby boomers are being written off by Yahoo360.

I encourage EVERYONE to do the same. Hit EVERY feedback form you can find on ANY site out there.. if we are ALL asking them to look at this soon to be abandoned format.. and that THIS is the format that the baby boomers like.. Trust me.. at SOME point.. a CEO of another company WILL get the picture and be MORE than happy to cater to the Baby Boomers.

By the way.. The Yahoo CEO's blog remarks have NOT been updated at all. I know of MANY who have left comments.. and NOT ONE has BEEN PUBLISHED. Folks.. the only way to be heard is to TELL EVERYONE. Do NOT go silently into the night. (Actually some have been published now, so don't give up trying to have your POV heard!)


We are BABY BOOMERS! Hear US ROAR!

Puye Indian Ruins

The Indians have a huge entrance into this site. You have to buy a ticket just to go into the area with the information about the ruins that is right below it. We didn't go into the ruins but got permission to photograph the information you see here and the ruins from below. There were 150 school kids ahead of us and it would have been several hours wait. I wanted to get to the falls that day so we opted out. I have been to Mesa Verde (pictures here: http://tinyurl.com/64cdkn ) three times and it is my favorite. We have also been to Canyon De Chelly which is another favorite and I swear in Canyon De Chelly(pronounced De Shay) you could feel the Indian spirit there. Pictures here: http://tinyurl.com/yze4ghz The tenacity of these people is amazing to say the least. It says they made ladders to their homes on the side of the mesa. What they mean is not hand made ladders but they chipped out hand and foot holds into the rock to literally climb the face of the rock. ...

Just some things I have been doing.  I don't expect anyone to understand it but it is a messy art mostly made up from junk around the house with some embellishments. I am taking a class for fun that is free on line.  Jennibelli journal workshop here . It's a ning site so you have to sign up somewhere to join if you are interested but this gal has a Youtube site with all her free videos on it. I started this project as a way to save all the old odds and ends pictures I have but it has become more about the art and allowing myself to be messy. It's all about taking old paint, scraps of paper and pulling them into some form of cohesion to express yourself.  And it's loads of fun.  Now if I just had more time in the day.
