In the majority of the world, OAM and Yahoo! imagery are the same --
both based on Landsat. The difference, in those areas, is that OAM will
display tiles far above "1:1" ratio, as opposed to just giving a 'no
data' message.

Additionally, I highly doubt you will see anything higher resolution
than
http://openaerialmap.org/map/?lat=37.79202&lon=-122.32715&zoom=21&layers=BF
in Yahoo! anywhere on the planet.
