Our meeting with Yahoo began with a presentation by Marc Davis. Some of the key notes he told us about design were: First, in design, you should re-fram the issue or problem. Second, for a design team, you should put people with different backgrounds together.
Marc also mentioned about a Yahoo design project called "One Connect". It's goal is to connect people with myspace and facebook, etc... all in one. He also talked about yahoo answers - http://www.answers.yahoo.com/. Finally, he talked about using flikr to track people; no more privacy and bosses may know where we are. The way it works is that people can take pictures using the camera on their cell phone. Then they can send it to their flikr account. Flikr recognizes the background and knows where you are.
