“Yodel Anecdotal” blog launches

It’s not like Yahoo’s got too much of an image problem. We’re happy, we’re spunky, we yodel—what else could the public ask for? More, that’s what. More info, more insight, more insider goodies, more personality.

Well now you’ve got it. Today, Yahoo! Corporate launches its new, public facing blog, Yodel Anecdotal. Writes blog editor Nicki Dugan:

We want to share insights into our company, our people, our culture, and the things that occupy our cluttered minds. We’ll cover emerging trends, provide some behind-the-scenes commentary, profile interesting Yahoos, spotlight our beloved users, reveal some of our quirks, tap into guest bloggers, sprinkle in some videos and photo essays, and generally think out loud (lucky you… you get to listen). You’ll hear from interns to executives. Some days we’ll be light and airy, others we’ll get serious…

Publishers should keep an eye on Yodel Anecdotal for news and information about the publishing sphere and Yahoo’s innovative role in it. And who knows, maybe some of our network publishers will be showcased or even asked to write guest posts of their own.

Of course, we haven’t yet decided whether to let them into the Yahoo! Publisher Network beta program. We thought we might give them a little time first and see how their content stacks up .
