One of the highlights of this year's Search Engine Strategies conference in New York (aside from the fact that I got to go to New York and see the city) was the keynote speech by Jerry Yang, co-founder of Yahoo!

While the talk was interesting and he did raise a bunch of great points, one that stuck out for me was his notion of Yahoo! (and search in general) as a platform. This idea was mentioned in other sessions as well.
