Yahoo! Cool Thing of the Day

But something seemed fishy about this post on Yodel Anecdotal, extolling the virtues of our partnership with The Finger, the new branding for the classic Butterfinger candy bar.

Obviously, it was an April Fool's joke, but one of the fun things is that we actually are partnering with The Finger to launch the Butterfinger Comedy Network, a nesting ground for all the funny videos floating around Yahoo! Video. And you can find real, free The Fingers at 7-11s around the country (or through the charity auction on eBay). Get someone to give you The Finger today!

Flickr, ever on the cutting edge of things we offer, recently rolled out a feature that will scan your Yahoo!, GMail or Hotmail address book for contacts already signed up on Flickr. That's pretty darn cool, and hints of (a long, long overdue) option that may be coming soon. Yep, that's us using Flickr as a testbed for things again.

And you thought we bought them because they're a pretty face.
