My friend Tony Hung from Deep Jive Interests — who was a one-man live-blogging machine at our recent mesh conference<\/a>, as well as being on a panel (about the future of journalism, coincidentally enough) — has a great post about Yahoo’s sudden realization that search isn’t all that important<\/a> any more. If those comments sound like sour grapes to you, you’re not the only one.<\/p>\n

Tony’s point is that Yahoo is talking about how “personalization” is the future, rather than pure search, and to him (and me) that sounds a lot like<\/a> what social networks such as Facebook do. So does Yahoo wish they had coughed up the $1-billion<\/a> or whatever it was to buy Facebook when they had the chance? I expect they do. Imagine how thrilled they will be when Google does a deal to drive the search inside Facebook (not that I know anything, but I could see it happening at some point).<\/p>\n

Go read Tony’s whole post<\/a>. Thought-provoking.<\/p>\n
