After what Yang did to Yahoo with the botched sale to Microsoft, he appears to me no different than William Hung.

If only there is a Simon in Silicon Valley?

Yahoo is doomed, unless…

His vision for his site is not a good one. I do not agree with Yang and how he has handled this situation.

I am still somehwat steamed at Yang and his handling of the MSFT bid. So MSFT didn’t kiss his butt; they did offer a very healthy premium and Yang et al didn’t know what to do except to poison the path and say “not enough.” MSFT called his bluff and now he looks foolish. Lacking a clear vision for the company, a sense of its true worth or a record of execution, how can this team right the ship after such a knock-down?

Decker was on a panel with Sergey Brin, Terry Semel, Rupert Murdoch and Maurice Levy a few weeks ago at a conference in Israel, and she explained that Yahoo! currently covers the “breadth” of the Internet, and in the future will need to focus on the “depth.” This seems to be in line with her saying, “We still do hundreds of things but we focus on homepage, search, mail and mobile.”

I covered her comments from a few weeks ago and analyzed them in connection to the future of the Internet and new media in the two most recent posts on my Israel Innovation 2.0 blog at http://www.itgu...elInnovation20/. The analysis connects her comments to the potential role that Israeli technology companies can have in relation to the Internet and new media in the future.

“Our turnover rate hasn’t changed much during the process.”

Right, except its our most useful 10% who are jumping ship now. And coupled with our inability to hire right now, that’s why we’re so pumped about our ability to monetize our search results!

And by our ability, especially with Panama, we mean turn the reins over to Google.

See?

“Yang says that Microsoft was very hostile during the negotiations”

Hostile as in offering a 40% premium on the stock price? Doesn’t get much friendlier than that. Yahoo is the one who didn’t want to be bought and tried to play dirty (employee incentive poison pills, seeking deals with Microsoft’s competetors, etc). No one believes you Yang.

Yahoo was cool when it had a ~ in the URL. Now it’s totally bloated with no identity.

How can Microsoft be ‘hostile’?!

That just does not make sense.

Maybe aggressive and frank – but that is a style of some hard hitting negotiators. surely most of the heavy hitters have to be that way due to the pressures and type A personalities that dominate at that level

Yahoo continually comes off as an also-ran. They need to work on PR more than anything.
