+15 sec of fame

Yahoo! announced today that we're launching Yahoo! Go 2.0 as "GA" (general availability), which is I guess the opposite of launching a product as "beta". Check out this article, which had a great quote from me. Also, I can't find the link, but I know the article ran in the Wall Street Journal, at least online, yesterday. Here's the quote:

"We have a very clearly stated goal, which is to be No. 1 in mobile," said Lee Ott, director of mobile product management at Yahoo. "We're making a major push to get the service out in everyone's hands."

Ott predicted that "2007 is going to be the tipping point for mobile," because finally "the phones are good enough, the networks are good enough and now, with the new Yahoo Go, the products are good enough."

Wow. I sound smart. That's so cool. I'm always nervous that I'm going to make some comment that is going to get misquoted, or that I'll say something idiotic or that I shouldn't say. So, Whew!

Add 15 seconds of fame to my fame counter.
