After more than two years of fascinating and exciting work on Local Search & Maps today I’ve started a new chapter of my life as a Yahoo!.
I’m leaving with a tear in my eyes as the people and experiences during these two years have been fabulous. Thanks to all of you guys and best of luck for the challenges ahead.
Now as some of you might have heard already – Yahoo! has moved the Answers product from the US to Europe. That’s a first and very exciting opportunity for us here in Europe. For me personally this provided me with the great opportunity to help define and drive the international development of one of the most used internet products there is. So as of today I’m one of two product managers driving the development of answers globally.
It’s fair to think that going forward you will read more about social search and social platforms here than local search related stuff.

Congrats and good luck!
Congratulations! And good luck in you new position!
Congrats, Frank – you know I’m an Answers fan.
Guess I’ll just move your feed from my LOCAL folder to my SOCIAL folder and keep on reading.
Thanks guys! Much appreciated.
Good luck. I’ve heard more about Yahoo layoffs than anything else in the past few weeks…sounds like you are quite lucky
Congrats Frank! Also – very nice Qype t-shirt you’re wearing there
Best of luck from everyone here!
Congrats Frank in your new position… the local search community will miss reading your blog.
@Phil: Thanks and I give you that one looks like we ripped you guys off when we dressed our hamster
@andrew: Thanks man. Best of luck for you guys!

Hey Pascal,

Ok – almost two months late, but just as sincere: congratulations on the new job! In case you make it to Paris gimme a shout (probalby not for a pint, but hey – wine’s not that bad either…)
PS: the domain sociallytype.com is still available…
Thanks much! Even two month later much appreciated – am not that far from Paris today – am in Grenoble – but will not make it to Paris this time
