I know, shocking to hear they actually have support. Well they do, and they are NOT at all helpful (the service rep even admitted it).

Not only that, a visit to their sites(there are soo many) will show how cluttered their content is. They need to return to simple times.

Offer the same products, keep it clean and dedicate pages to whatever functionality that page is supposed to be selling.

Right now whenever you hit a yahoo page, you are told about everything they do. Not good, very confusing.

Google is doing it right. Amazon is slipping the way of yahoo.

Everyone likes clean.

They were lucky and Yang & associates are kicking themselves. MSFT will probably wait until Yahoo becomes junk since yahoo was heading downwards even before they lost the search biz to Google.

It’s the only way the company will ever make any real waves again.

There will be plenty of meetings though. ‘nough said

bartz’s tough talk is being followed up with a hectic flurry of inaction.

When you take away that focus, organizationally, you take away the ability to compete. What does it mean to run a “business” if you don’t have control over the engineering and the product experience. I don’t see how the org structure is set up to serve users or P&L discipline.
