Microsoft used to ask us to events like this, Google and Apple never have (except briefly while Amelio was in charge, but that went nowhere). Yahoo continues to impress as the exception to the rule of Silicon Valley. They don’t have the usual arrogance, they’re more inquisitive like the old Microsoft was. Refreshing.
Hm… my invite must have been lost in the mail.
I think Yahoo is going to seriously spank Google by Q2… If I had any money I’d buy Yahoo stock right now! Unfortunately all my money is going to TailRank which will almost certainly have a higher ROI :)

re. invites - nope, I didn’t get one either, I think it must only work for small values of ‘us’.
re. “If I had any money I’d buy Yahoo stock right now!” - yes indeed. Not only have they the sense to court the loudest voices in the bologosphere, they’re also hiring a lot of seriously web-savvy talent : not long ago they got Dave Beckett, they just got Mark Nottingham.
