FU Yahoo

Jen and I were getting ready to do the show and testing our cameras. We logged in to our Live Yahoo account and people started showing up in the chat. We twittered for peope to come to the Yahoo! Live chat... Evidently someone at Yahoo! still has a beef. All of a sudden it said we had been banned. WTF Yahoo! ????? I later got this email.

Which makes it sound like its a temporary thing.... but as you can see its not. Actually getting booted from Yahoo! was the best thing that happened to us. Ustream has a much better service. For those asking on twitter and in comments the beef with Yahoo goes back quite a while. There was the whole myblog log thing (which turned into like 5 smaller things). Yahoo publicly apologized but there have been hard feelings since. I still cant access mybloglog. Then the whole yahoo search marketing pr nightmare for them
