How Will Yahoo "Monetize" Their Social Networks?
Thomas Hawk writes "One of the most interesting things to come out of Yahoo's earnings call with analysts yesterday was a statement by Yahoo's COO, Daniel L. Rosenweig on Yahoo's plans to 'monetize' their various social network properties. Flickr was mentioned five times on the conference call and their de.lic.io.us property was as well, after neither were mentioned in last quarter's call. Rosenweig characterized these services as being largely unmonetized and talked about leveraging these "assets" and targeting and profiling a large growing registered audience base. It will be interesting to see how some of Yahoo's popular web properties change through the monetization process."

They can charge national governments for providing dossiers on political dissidents. What other form of data mining pays that well and buys political sway in the unfree world (PRC, USA etc...)?
but we "make up" for it in "volume".
Give a man a fish and you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish, and he'll say "WHERE'S MY FISH, YOU IDIOT?"
Yahoo! has to leverage this juncture of oportunity to capitalize on its corporate paradigm where its Web 2.0(tm) assets can be implemented in such a way to baffle customers with corporate-speak, and tell them they can have a service for no cost to them, while their personal information is plundered and exploited to dupe them into buying from Yahoo!'s partners in business.
