Yahoo Finally Nixes "Classic" Yahoo Maps
The Classic version was left up to support those on dial-up and to smooth the transition to the "new" Yahoo Maps launched in 2005. Now, with most users on the new version, Yahoo has closed the Classic version. The best news?
"Stay tuned for updates and improvements throughout 2009." from the product manager. That's nice to hear after some "not so positive about the future" comments from execs.

Bartz Likes Google Maps More than Yahoo Maps
The upshot is that Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz notes the company has not put a lot of effort into its mapping solution. The "already found a new job" CFO Blake Jorgensen notes that such programs are expensive and he doesn't expect any more money there in the near futrue. As Jonathan Crowe points out in his blog post, this discussion could mean more or less attention for Yahoo Maps at the company. Sorry to say I fear "less."
Or it could be Bartz is positioning herself for a position in the Google Maps team!

Flickr Announces "Find Images Nearby"
Recently Flickr reported it had 100 million geotagged images in its repository. Now the site offers a way to take advantage of that location information: a tool to find images taken "near" an image of choice (announcement). The result is a map with images found; they can be filter by type of contact, date and sorted as you like. Flickr turns 5 tomorrow.

Google Korea and Yahoo Korea Partner on Mapping Against Common "Enemies"
Korea's Daum (www.daum.net) is number 2 in search (left overs from Naver), but #1 in maps while Naver (www.naver.com) is #1 in search (75%). That does not sit well with Google and Yahoo.
So, the two have partnered to face the common enemies:
Under an agreement announced Tuesday, Google adds "video clips from YouTube (kr.youtube.com) on Yahoo's map (map.yahoo.co.kr), while Yahoo interconnects its local search service, Gugi (kr.gugi.yahoo.com), with Google's map (www.maps.google.co.kr)."
The sharing should begin later this month, with plans to extend it to the international version of Yahoo's Gugi services (global.gugi.yahoo.co.kr).
Korea has been one of the few rare markets where Google and Yahoo have struggled to stay relevant, with Naver controlling around 75 percent of the search market and Daum gobbling up the biggest of table scraps.

Update: Carol Bartz to Lead Yahoo?
The online edition of the Wall Street Journal is confirming that Bartz will be offered the Yahoo CEO position. TechCrunch has an updated photo of Ms. Bartz and noted that she and outgoing CEO and founder, Jerry Yang, are close allies.
-----------original post Jan 9, 2009-------------------
She's on the short list says the Wall Street Journal. (via Search Engine Watch)
But few seem to recall her good work at Sun and Autodesk. (via WorldCAD Access)
While I never met her and she was only casually interested (my take) in geospatial, she lead Autodesk to great success. I think she's been around the block enough times to do the same at Yahoo.

Podcast: What Can the Geospatial Community Learn from Top Ten Lists?
This week the podcast takes a look at some top ten lists - some from the geospatial world but mostly those form the broader tech Web space. Both sets of lists reveal quite a lot about where geospatial is as we come to the end of 2008.
