First innovative thing yahoo has done in years.

I'm guessing you haven't heard of BOSS, YUI, or Yahoo! Pipes. Yahoo still innovates, they just don't seem to do so in a way that's particularly profitable.

No I have not.

Problem is, Yahoo's effectiveness is measured in profit.

Interesting that this is using jQuery, and doesn't seem to be using YUI at all. You'd think they'd be showing off their own frameworks...

To be fair, it was done by http://www.periscopic.com/ and not Y! internal. Y! probably didn't specify any specific technologies. Perhaps a missed opportunity, but still, cool stuff.

If you like. But you didn't say anything about effectiveness, you said they haven't innovated in years, which is patently false.
