Yahoo! HQ

I recently found myself in the Yahoo! UK headquarters in London when Trish and I dropped by on our way to Munich.

It was the first time I’ve ever actually seen the Yahoo! logo anywhere other than on a computer screen and the web. And obviously what I’ve done here is photograph it and upload it straight to the web for immediate display on your computer screen.

It was quite strange seeing it though. There it was jumping right off the wall like a big fat cheery object, looking like it had never seen a pixel in its life.

And so what was I doing in the Yahoo! HQ?

As it turns out, Yahoo! just love the site here and have earmarked it as their next big acquisition. Apparently, they especially like it when I write about things like my cat have trouble crapping properly and want to buy me out for a cool £1 mil.

Okay not really.

I was going for lunch with the head of the Yahoo! UK Search division, no less. Who, apart from having a very fancy-sounding title, is called Salim and is a friend of Trish. And a top bloke he is too. We had sushi and chatted about art and the web and dressing up as Santa.
