[...] Meanwhile, Google’s next closest competitor, Yahoo! is still struggling with leadership issues. Even though, finally, Jerry Yang has stepped down after being criticized for not accepting the Microsoft deal, the successor’s name has not yet been officially announced. Rumor has it that Arun Sarin, ex-CEO Vodafone Group, is in the running for the job. Hopefully, the new CEO would be able to get Yahoo! back on its feet. [...]

I would highly recommend that the author read a book named “Good to Great” which reveals a very interesting fact – Strategy did NOT differentiate the great companies from their counterparts. All the talk about strategy is really without merit. How Yahoo is in THE most promising position to be able to leverage Web 3.0, is beyond comprehension. I thought web 3.0 which came about from semantic web concept in all its glory will make Google’s business model obsolete and last time I checked yahoo was trying to have the same ad based revenue model! It appears to me that the analysis presented is naive at best… There doesn’t seem to be any research to support any of the claims…

They used to have the best finance message boards any where. Then they screwed them up and totally ignored the user backlash and massive amount of begging to go back to the original interface ("We're trying to provide you with the best user interface. You make take some time to get used to the new features."). What a bunch of nits.

Yahoo! is what happens when you let the "hippy dippies" run the company. The people they acquired were moved into VP positions and quickly learned about their lack of clothing. Basically, Yahoo is still in the "dot com" phase (oh snap! he did not!!!) (oh yes, I did...).
