No worries Dima, there are never any stupid questions here. Basically, there are a few methods you can use for updating that are visible now:
1. Updates
This adds an update to the bottom right box at
http://profiles.yahoo.com for the specified user. Connections of that user will see these updates. This updates will comprise a title, optional description and a link.
2. Presence
Again, on profiles.yahoo.com right beside your picture is a place to set your status (e.g. Jonathan is doing such and such today). The SDK will allow you to set this field.
As the platform grows and new featuers are pushed out, you will begin to see integration of these elements within other properties on Yahoo!.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Hello,
Sorry for my stupid question, I'm not familiar with Yahoo services that much.
Say I post some updates using this API, where can I see them "in action" afterwards?
E.g. if I post an update on Facebook, I can immediately see it appearing on my news feed.
Thanks,
Dima
