Yahoo is hosting a Q&A session with Andrei Broder over at their search blog.

My question for Andrei Broder:

Blog Search. It sucks. How is Yahoo going to make it better? Conversation based search? Comment search?

My second question for Andrei Broder:

PS. If you are annoyed by all these sites that ask you to copy some letters or numbers to prove you are not a bot, you can blame Andrei as well: he co-invented this challenge, back in 1998.

Do you regret inventing this? Proving that you are not a bot to a ton of sites daily is annoying to say the least.
