As promised in the Exclusive Interview with the General Manager of YPN, here is the forum buzz about the launch of the YPN product. It is still early, just launching officially last night, but I'll try to update this entry throughout the day. Official Y! Search Blog entry, SEW Blog entry, JenSense, the contextual queen, with her excellent write up and official press release.
Forum Coverage:
- WebmasterWorld: The official discussion doesn't get started in this thread until msg # 34 on page number two, where a member links to a NY Times article that says "Yahoo will invite 2,000 sites to take part in the test, beginning today, and will open the system to blogs and other publishers by the end of the year."
- Search Engine Watch Forums: Where Danny Sullivan says, "we'll likely have a new forum area soon for YPN."
- DigitalPoint Forums: Where the discussion also begins on page two, members there seem to be excited to test it out.
- Cre8asite Forums: Bill starts a thread on the topic, commenting on the interview posted here.
