Some great news for Tom, and the interweb in general: Tom Coates, he of plasticbag.org fame, is leaving the BBC to join Yahoo!

Tom will be engaging in all sorts of web-related shenanigans, working with the Flickr and Upcoming teams, as well as being in the same team as Simon Willison and Jeremy Zawodny. Lumme, Yahoo! are picking up some awesome talents of late.
