    I think Yahoo needs to test everything they can in order to stay competitive. They have had their feet stuck in the mud for quite some time now.

    Who cares? Isn't Bing still taking over Yahoo? In a few months "Yahoo" won't be doing anything but showing Bing results….so what's the point of Yahoo adding social for 2 months? Weird…
