[...] New CEO Carol Bartz finally addressed some questions on everyone’s mind. Addressing Wall Street analysts on the call, she said preemptively before taking questions: Did I come to Yahoo to sell the company? No. . . . Am I planning on immediately selling the search business? I did not come here with preconceived notions. It is very easy from the outside to have preconceived notions of what Yahoo should do. Now as an insider and CEO it is my job and responsibility to do what is best for customers, shareholders, and employees. [...]

Did anyone here notice how Autodesk is a software company driven like an old hardware “a la IBM, GM, GE” company? Batz’s Autodesk has built a de facto monopoly by failing to open new markets and being forced to polish it’s user base to the limit. It stalled a while ago and will not grow again. I can’t wait to see what this kind of “banker-friendly” old school CEO can do for Yahoo.

Ms. Bartz is exactly what Yahoo! needs. Someone who knows how to Disrupt the status quo in order to improve competitiveness – especially against larger, better financed and higher market share competitors. Yahoo! employees and investors are lucky to have a CEO able to affect change, and not just someone with “ad industry credentials.” This appointment certainly better positions Yahoo! than the newspaper CEOs who are cutting costs while watching their businesses disappear as advertisers go to the web.

not here to defend yahoo as the Jerry, sue, terry, and many others created this mess.

but carol is right to tell the pundits and media to fuck off for awhile while she cleans up the mess.

She’s one tough lady but they waited a bit too long.

What she needs to do in 5 steps is

1) confront everyone with the brutal facts of reality

2) find out what they can be the best in the world
at (and what not)

3) find out what brings in the money

4) find out what your employees are passionate about and

5) introduce the right culture for the company.

Sounds easy but it’s not.

DonkeyLips– that’s exactly my point– men DO have ‘cat-fights’ but they are never described as cat-fights (I dare you to find anywhere, a description of 2 men ‘cat-fighting’). And you’d never read a story about a male CEO stepping down, with people saying that now he should go spend more time w/ his children. Let’s face it– it’s true.

Not sure why you brought up basketball and cooking..maybe those are your own stereotypes. You’re the idiot.

So much talent has left Yahoo…

Illegal immigrants are returning back to their country…

Is there a connection??

Don’t miss the investigative report that will uncover all this. Smart, incisive, to the point research that will leave the Y! community flabbergasted.

No wonder the NYT calls it a “Masterpiece”….the LA Times calls it “Revealing”….Bloomberg calls it “The end of the Political Correctness in the Tech Sector”….

…and Carol Bartz calls it” just a bunch of crap! Don’t talk about it or I’ll get you fired!”

Geez, no wonder AutoDesk dominates the market like it does.

Its nice that Yahoo finally got a CEO. But stories have already started circulating that Carol Bartz is incompetent to take Yahoo to the next level. I was reading an article which hints that Bartz might not be able to safeguard Yahoo investors interest. Here’s the link to the article I am referencing: http://uk.reute...E50D0MA20090114
