"The Internet".

A blog entry and a post to a few key relevant mailing lists would have
resulted in the message spreading far better than it was.  There's no way
that they could have communicated it to every mailing list admin on the
planet, but they could have at least given a heads-up to some major parts
of the community.

The great thing about the Internet is that if it's important enough to be
shared, you don't need to try too hard to make that happen - others will
look after it for you.  But you need to make the effort to get it started,
and Yahoo didn't do that here (or at least, they did, but they did it by
actually making the change by which time it was too late!)
