When I was in Silicon Valley recently, I was lucky enough to get to see a lot of Ian Kennedy, who I first met when he was working at Six Apart. During our conversations, he was very animated and obviously enthusiastic about his new gig as product manager for the Yahoo Publisher Network. We talked a lot about how to engage, what makes a good blog, whether or not the whole ad industry is built on a huge self-perpetuating myth, and a whole bunch of other stuff. By the end of it, I was feeling quite keen to check out the YPN for myself.

Ian is one of the most genuine people I’ve met in the web industry, and as I’ve said before, Yahoo was lucky to get him. I’d wish you good luck with your new gig, dude, but I know you don’t need it.
