everwas: Leaving Yahoo - Going Mobile

bpm140 · 1 year agoYahoo and MyBlogLog's loss is Nokia's gain. Do great things, amigo. It's what you were meant to do.
-
Niall Kennedy · 1 year agoCongrats! Nokia has changed so much over the past century and a half -- from wood pulp to cell phones -- they can't really shy away from exploring what's next. Tyler and Julia will expect to have their own cell phones now.
-
jhstrauss · 1 year agoCongrats bro! I know how hard you fought the good fight, and how difficult it is to finally let go of all the great things you and your awesome team were able to accomplish despite all the artificial hurdles you so politely apologized for. I'm excited to see what crazy ideas you let loose over at Nokia. And, thanks for the shout-out (and especially for keeping me out of the PPT section ;-) ).
-
senders · 1 year agowow. yhoo will miss you. good luck at nokia!
-
Dave Vockell · 1 year agoStrauss is just jealous that he doesn't rate the PPT section. Congrats on the new gig, you are a strong social soul that Y! is unfortunate to lose. Good luck, and Onneksiolkoon!
-
Dav Yaginuma · 1 year agoAwesome. Good luck, say hi to Russell for Mie and I.

iankennedy · 1 year agoThanks everyone! @Dave, when did you learn Finnish and, where are you working these days anyway? @don loeb, you're on! I hope you guys still have those drinks in the coconut shells you were serving up last time I was there.
-
jr · 1 year agoDefinite Congrats are in order. As well as a sincere thank you for all you've done with MBL and Yahoo! in general. You will be missed. I'm happy to hear you're move for a couple of reasons; 1) I'm excited to see what you come up with and 2) Now I have someone at Nokia I can bitch at. Yay!

Sis · 1 year agoVery happy with the wonderful news. As you know, I have a soft spot for Nokia since I've had their phones for quite some time. Looking forward to hearing about your new projects, and if you need a busy non-geek mom to test new features, I'm game! Omedeto!

-
Carole McManus · 1 year agoBest to you on your new adventure! Nokia's lucky to have you.
-
Kent Brewster · 1 year agoWe will miss you terribly, Ian. I don't think most developers understand how important it is to have a product guy with vision and guts between them and the Suits ... I hope Nokia gets it, and really lets you crank it up full volume.
-
iankennedy · 1 year agoThanks Kent! That's really nice for you to say. Look forward to working with you from the other side, pulling things out of Yahoo!

KittyCat · 1 year agoWow...thanks for all having something to do with Yahoo's NEW look and feel. After seeing some nice stuff at MyBlogLog, can't wait to how Nokia responds :-) All the best!
-
Kathleen · 1 year agothis is fantastic, totally you...Hey, can you enable the gps function on kiddie phones? I might be more willing to get Will one (he keeps begging) knowing that 1) I'll know where he is and 2) when he inevitably loses the phone, I'll have 1/2 a chance of getting it back...
-
Roy · 1 year agoIt's a bummer to see you leave MBL. I'm hoping your next endeavor will be as satisfying and challenging as your last. Good luck Ian.
-
Robyn Tippins · 1 year agoNokia is really doing some great things (trying out the N81 via their WOM campaign right now, though my trial is almost up). Man, you are amazing and your presence here will be deeply felt. We'll miss you and I hope you and the family enjoy Helsinki!
-
shanan · 1 year agocongrats Ian. I didn't get to send you off a few weeks back, but I would have said that yahoo isn't as strong without you, and that I enjoyed working with you at YPN and in SF the last three years. Have a blast at Nokia!
-
Ravi · 1 year agoHa... Good Luck
-
Ravi · 1 year agoGood Luck
