Remember Yahoo Pipes, the "interactive feed aggregator and manipulator" — in other words, a website meant to help people build simple Web applications? It launched to some fanfare last February, with many taking it as a sign of Yahoo getting...
Earlier today, we asked about Yahoo's Brickhouse — the ostensible incubator of innovation in San Francisco's South Park charged with reviving Yahoo's reputation for Web cool. Departures from the Pipes project, the only notable product...
TechConfidential's Joshua Jaffe intensely awaits a serve at Yahoo's Brickhouse party for Web 2.0 last night. Suggest your own in the comments. Yesterday's winner: BartKela. (Photo by Brian Solis)
Rumor has it Scott Gatz, the brain behind Yahoo's search strategy earlier in the decade, more recently heading up part of Bradley Horowitz's Advanced Products Group, will leave Yahoo at the end of the year. Our source, who claims to have failed in...
Near the end of a Stirr mixer in San Francisco on Tuesday, I ran into Salim Ismail, the head of Yahoo Brickhouse and our newest Silicon Valley Tool, though he'd yet to get the prize for being one of the Bay Area's most annoying executives when we...
To find Yahoos ready to bolt, recruiters are taking a wide stance. Cake Financial, a startup, occupies the same building in SoMa as Yahoo's San Francisco incubator, Brickhouse. Employees at Cake plastered Yahoo's entrance and building restrooms...
We hear that Bradley Horowitz, Yahoo's advanced-produts czar, has finally fired Salim Ismail, the head of Yahoo's Brickhouse incubator in San Francisco. Today's layoffs likely provided a convenient excuse to get rid of Ismail, a suavely...
Want to hear from one of the geniuses who worked on pricing subprime mortgages? Facebook's Jeff Hammerbacher speaks at Yahoo Brickhouse today at noon. While you're there, ask Brickhouse manager Salim Ismail about his trouble with the taxman. If...
When you can't take market share, take credit. That's the unspoken motto of Yahoo since Google overshadowed the Web pioneer, and no one has mastered the art like Salim Ismail, the desperately unpopular VP in charge of Yahoo Brickhouse, the San...
Desperate to deflect attention from impending layoffs, Yahoo's top management has put pressure on the ranks to deliver some splashy product launches and distract the media. Gullible as the tech press corp is, they'll likely fall for it. A top...
Go to a game show with your favorite videobloggers, get all scholarly, or spy on Yahoo's new digs, all in tonight's Valleywag Calendar.
Salim Ismail's incompetence as a manager may have brought the wrath of the IRS down on Yahoo. One of his employees at Brickhouse, Yahoo's San Francisco incubator, has moved abroad while being classified, for tax purposes, as "working at home."...
Have a Mighty mobile meetup, interface intelligently, or talk to some real rocket scientists in today's Valleywag Calendar.
Tonight in Palo Alto, InternetGeekGirl, Bub.blicio.us and friends have a meetup in MacArthur Park. (Yum!) Bug Labs is talking open source hardware and the future of consumer electronics. Peter Nixey, CEO of startup Clickpass, holds a "sharing is...
A press tour is oft the last refuge of a scoundrel. Salim Ismail, the pushy head of Yahoo's Brickhouse incubator in San Francisco and newest Silicon Valley Tool, is still talking up Fire Eagle, an admittedly useful software tool for broadcasting...
Internerds who drink together will blog, post photos, and Twitter about it together. If reading about last night's festivities via RSS made you feel lonely, here are tonight's chances for a do-over. The Expo-sponsored South Park bar crawl promises...
The San Francisco American Marketing Association's monthly meeting today is titled "Relationships Aren't Virtual: In a Web 2.0 World Why Personal Contact Matters." Well, duh. Melissa could have told you that. Six Apart is hosting a...
Former Yahoo VP Bradley Horowitz left the company for Google Tuesday. Yesterday, he posted a 1,200-word explanation. Here's the readable version.
As we reported first, Yahoo's Scott Gatz confirms he's leaving. Chad Dickerson will move from the Yahoo Developer Network to take over running Advanced Products. This is hardly a promotion for Dickerson; we hear he had a falling out with his boss...
Tonight, meet and greet and meet and greet. Startup networking, the future of music, and some guy from Kentucky will all be out in today's Valleywag Calendar.
If you don't go out tonight, we're scared. Not of you, but for you. For what's going on tonight, check out the Valleywag Calendar.
NICK DOUGLAS — Ever been at the bar at 2 A.M. and see one of those striped-shirt bridge-and-tunnel guys make a desperate last-call pass at the sketchiest girl in the establishment? It looks like the video partnership between the San Jose...
Salim Ismail, incoming head of Yahoo's new incubator, is a perfectly charming staple of Manhattan internet parties and, since he moved to the West Coast, the South of Market tech scene. But here's the brutal truth: the last person the Sunnyvale...
Tonight, a charity auction and spontaneous drinking vie for your attention. And, for some reason, everything tonight starts at 6 p.m. To overbook your evening, check out our Valleywag Calendar.
Elevation Partners — you know, the hedge fund with added Bono — threw a party for Wikipedia at the Third Street Grill. The big news was that Wikipedia has updated its license to be compatible with Larry Lessig's Creative Commons, which...
Time to upgrade this from rumor to unannounced fact — that's our bet, anyway. "Consolidation" was the word seized upon most in Yahoo exec Brad Garlinghouse's "Peanut Butter Manifesto." And consolidating the duplicate services provided by...
