The email subjectline keywords are intersting. Almost all are commerce related: travel, save, prices, markdowns, store, itunes, department, etc.
As if personal email is small minority of their email traffic.
====================
On a separate note, does anyone else think that yahoo has an identity crisis? Although they have a large web presence, I can't seem to think of one thing they do better than their competition. When I picture yahoo, I think of it as an internet tabloid since most of the main real estate of the page is dedicated to link baited columns. They have search, but no one under the age of 55 uses it. They have made a series of acquisitions but you could argue none of them have really added much to the company. Since 2006 they have tried to be a jack of all trades, and I don't really think that is a good strategy for any company. Yahoo should figure out what they want to be good at, and drop all the other crap they are doing.
First, thank you everyone for the complements. I will pass them on to our designers and developers.
We are still working out some data issues with Yahoo!. This is why some of the stories are showing very few articles in the last 24hrs (they are two week old stories). Please bear with us and Yahoo! as we work out these kinks.
This is one in a series of visualizations we are producing for Yahoo!. You can see the two we have released so far here: http://beta.visualize.yahoo.com/.
We are in the process of creating two more visualizations for Yahoo!. Both of these will also be packed with more UI and HTML/CSS/JS goodness.
Hmm, either it's really unpopular, or they forgot to include "thousands" or "millions".
