Yahoo CEO Steps down

But if you look at i., ever since Semel got the job, in 2000, the company has been beset with problems. Hopefully, they have got rid of the junk. They paid hime $71 million lat year. Thats disgusting.

 

I don't know guys, I have always stuck by Yahoo. But it seems to me the ideas are just running dry. I think they will be the new Netscape, aka irrelevant. A shame in light of the fact that they are now a PR 10. However, stating that they are a PR 10, just gives more power and credence to it competitor.

 

yahoo will be bought by google, watch

 

if yahoo gets bought by google, then google will truly have monoplized search!

I seriously doubt it will happen. How can we all assume that the most sought after web destination on the planet is in trouble??

 

I honestly do not think Google could afford Yahoo... While Yahoo is failing in many areas, they are still number one in search, and lest you all remember, Yahoo along with Netscape were one of the primary and largest investors in, none other than... Google.

 

Does that matter ? As long as he is a human & understands the internet (well, much more than me or you!)

The difference between people from different corners of world is diminishing fast! (VISAS!!)

 

Won't happen. Won't be allowed to happen as it would be anti-competitive. It will be boought by or merged with Microsoft or AT&T or Time Warner.

 

AT&T already owns a stake in Yahoo. They got that when they acquired SBC who owned around 3% of Yahoo.

 

Semel had the chance to buy Google cheap and he balked.....I'm glad he didn't.....Then they sold their Google stock a few years too early...

 

Is this information correct? Why are they investing in GOOGLE?

 

Yes

Why not? This was earlier on before Google was a powerhouse SE that they are today.

 

thats interesting I mean really it is"

 

That not gonna happen.
AntiTrust will beat the s*** outta google.

 

I doubt that.. I don't think antitrust laws pertain to search engines

Yahoo dominates the email industry.
Google dominates the search.
MSN dominates.... the users who don't know how to change their homepage.

They won't get bought out/merge but some new ideas are high in demand.

 

Look at this :


Im telling you guys google will take over the world some day!

Both G & Y dominate online advertisement.
Merging these 2 means almost all online advertising in one hand.
That's why it's not gonna happen.
Microsoft already has a truckload of problems with his dominant position.
Just my 2 cents.

 

Stock value can be deceiving... Especially where as there is a company with NO assets, overvalued on pure speculation...
