Yahoo! Panama Podcast

Want to know what industry insiders think of Yahoo!'s Panama?

As I mentioned in an earlier post, several key bloggers and search engine marketers got a sneak preview of Panama at Yahoo!'s office. Andrew Goodman, Barry Schwartz, Jennifer Slegg, Andy Beal, Greg Sterling, Mona Elesseily and I had a great time testing out the new tools and finding a few bugs.
