Hey! It just so happens my start-up is dedicated to creating fun language learning apps (free in app store), if you're learning Chinese or Spanish and have an iOS device, give it a whirl: http://321speak.com/
I pretty much comment on every hn language learning thread hoping for feedback...
Awesome advice! It just so happens for my start-up we're working on language learing apps, and our first one is for Mandarin Chinese. Here's our first one in the itunes store (it's free!), would be great to get some feedback, as a single founder it's been tough to get constructive criticism.
My sense from meeting Yahoo devs is that they are ok, in that they have the credentials, but didn't seem very passionate or excited about new tech. Can you bring up some examples where Yahoo is pioneering a new field? (search, media delivery, social etc, what ever Yahoo as a company is really excited and passionate about internally...)
