What is YMusicBlog.com?

Earlier this year, Jeremy Zawodny and Jeff Weiner suggested a Yahoo! Music blog similar to their YSearchBlog.com. After many months, invaluable help from Guy and Van at Yahoo! Hosting, and David in our design department (thanks for the header, yo), I finally have YMusicBlog.com up and running. I’m sure most folks at Yahoo! thought I would never really make it happen. Sorry, y’all. Thanksgiving break only comes once a year.

YMusicBlog.com is a venue for us, the Yahoo! Music team, to share with you what’s the haps at Yahoo! Music. We’ll post here about new products, product improvements, tips/tricks on using Yahoo! Music, industry news that affects Yahoo! Music, or just about anything we can somewhat relate to our jobs. We hope that you’ll add this blog to your blogroll via My Yahoo! or otherwise, and join us on our journey by leaving comments and feedback which we will then use to improve our products, which we will post to this blog about…and so goes the virtuous cycle.

While the folks posting at YMusicBlog.com are Yahoo! employees, this is not an “official” Yahoo! site. We’re posting here because we’re passionate about what we do for a living, want to communicate about it, and blogging makes it very easy for us to do so. We hope to inject our personalities into this site and as such would like to remind/warn you that each of the posts are the thoughts of the author, and do not necessarily reflect the views of Yahoo!, Inc (aka The Mothership).

It’s nearly 2006. There are no men/women behind the curtain a la The Wizard of Oz. We are working for you, and unless we are friendly and familiar, how can we help each other? We hope you’ll get to know us, and we will continue to do our best to know each of you.

For ever ever,
