Yahoo! has hired usability specialists to work on the site to increase
overall usability, including hire of usability interns.
Thank you Chuck for sharing your experience. Interesting that Yahoo!
would not hire tech writers but given that they did hire usability
specialists shows what they are willing to pay for.
BTW: Yahoo! showed its second consecutive profitable quarter, see article
in 10/10 SJ Mercury.
Cheers,
