			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In 2005 Yahoo! released its search API, the developer community went crazy&#8230; I assembled a couple of programmers and built a vertical search engine called MetaMojo.com.  We subsequently moved away from Yahoo!&#8217;s API and built a Nutch-based crawler instead because Yahoo! took one step forward but two step back.</p>
<p>Today Yahoo! Search goes <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/02/25/yahoo-announces-open-search-platform/" target="_blank">open</a>&#8230;  This basically allows publishers to tweak Yahoo!&#8217;s search, though they cannot tweak results.  I think this will be noise today, gone tomorrow.  Yahoo! should have really opened up its search platform then, fully.  It didn&#8217;t.  My frustrations working with Yahoo! then were emblematic of everything that is being written about Yahoo! today.</p>
<p>Not a day goes by where Yahoo! does not seem to launch something new, yet old. Yahoo! is now cornered into a corner like a dangerous, wounded animal.  Its moves are erratic, it will attempt everything to fend off its pursuers&#8230; get out of its way, it might fall under its own weight.</p>
<p>Note: Long YHOO stock.</p>
