Very slow loading, that Yahoo Flash app...
And what's with the "Taking too long? click here" message while loading? It transports you away from the loading and onto the old Yahoo Local. Surprises are the enemy of usability...

It is Still in beta – Probably, it will be tweaked and optimized with time.

But all in all, a useful service.
