Former Yahoo! News Chief Neil Budde Joins DailyMe as President, Chief Product Officer
I'm very pleased to announce that Neil Budde, former VP and editor-in-chief of Yahoo! News, Yahoo! Finance and Yahoo! Sports, has joined DailyMe as our new President, Chief Product Officer.
This is important for a number of reasons:
• As DailyMe continues to evolve, we are very focused on providing you, our users, with the news you want the way you want it. Neil brought Yahoo! News to No. 1 in the online news space and before that developed the concept for The Wall Street Journal Online and then built and ran that pioneering news site. He is the perfect person to guide our continued product development efforts.
• As a visionary in the online news space, Neil's decision to move across country to Florida and join our team underscores my belief that the news aggregation space is one of the most exciting out there. We know from your feedback just what you are looking for in news, and we are more convinced than ever that our direction is the way to the future.
• Lastly, as you'll see personally over the coming weeks and months, Neil is a terrific guy with a great eye for news and innovation. I'm sure you'll soon begin to feel his presence in the DailyMe community.

We've got a lot of exciting plans for DailyMe and I'll bring them to you as soon as I can. For today, please join me in welcoming Neil to our DailyMe community.
