guys, check this out:
Yahoo is planing a re-org and they are doing it like the mean team of talents that they are. The company is creating three new teams with a mission to:
" formation of an insights strategy team; and enhancements to the technology infrastructure to optimize the use of data and improve coordination between product and engineering teams. "
“The changes we’re making today will help deliver superior global products for users and enable faster and better decision-making,” said President Sue Decker.
hahaha... an aptly named bunch of Yahoos over there who just insist on waisting shareholder money..
Dear Sue,
You are the one that opened the door for Google and ripped out the beating heart of your own company. You sold your core business to your biggest competitor - yet you keep selling us these old buzz words just to hold on to your multi million dollar job for another year.
you've lost the faith of your customers and your audience through bad bad innovation and not listening to your customer base..
An "insights strategy team".. you're so hip and peppy... what a Boss plan... thumbs up Suzi, you'll be beating Google in no time.. NOT!

i think the main problem with Yahoo has not been innovation. for example look at Yahoo Pipes which take RSS feeds to a new level, and the new Yahoo Mail which is at least as good as gmail, probably better for many email users.
what they don't do well is focus. you have a good product, make sure you not only bleed it, but also keep it the best. Yes, I am talking about what happened to their email before the overhaul, the search (BTW - we care about the results, not the relevance of the ads), the interface for Finance, and what's going to happen to my.yahoo which still beats google/ig hands down but not for long.
bottom line - get focus, put around what you customers use and want and the revenues will come. still a lot of technical capability there.

I agree with you 100%.. it's the same story with Microsoft (MSFT).. you get the feeling that if they paid a few 22 year olds to give then feedback and actually listen.. a lot of their problems would be gone.. but it seems like corporate America doesn't have that kind of flexibility..
