Foos the Boss?
| Monday, August 25th, 2008 | --Sean |
After my own disappointing finish in a Guitar Hero competition, it's nice to read about a couple of other Yahoos managing to take home some hardware. Foosball is a cultural phenomenon at Yahoo!, and I'm sure our Yahoo! Search team was salivating when they heard that the Search Engine Strategies conference would be hosting a foosball tournament, pitting all of the big names in search against each other in the only competition that matters (pfft, global reach, whatever). The dynamic duo of Jake Rosenberg and Daniel Wong were unchallenged on their way to a gold medal finish over both Google and Microsoft, which when paired with our award for top search result relevance just goes to show that we've got that whole work/play balance down cold over here.
You may also recognize Daniel and Jake from the finals of the 2006 Foosapalooza, where we raised over $10,000 to donate to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Charitable work and search market dominance through foosball -- sounds like a winning plan to me!
