What is Yahoo!?

What is Yahoo!?

Is it a search engine?

Is it a photo sharing service?

Is it a news portal?

Is it a repository of all news Apple?

What, exactly is Yahoo!?

Over the past year, we have been inundated with news as [Yahoo CEO] Marissa Mayer lurches from one seemingly disjointed M&A event to another.

Now, it is the amassing of irrelevant, near-irrelevant and soon-to-be-irrelevant figureheads to her company.

You have to wonder just what is going on there when as much as 75% of that company’s staff refuse to use their eponymous email product.

Me, I’m glad that “The Madness Of Jerry Yang” was in full effect, and Microsoft didn’t blow $44+ billion on that merde!

From Twitter:

@johnobeto yes, in retrospect, the complete insanity of Jerry Yang's ego saved Microsoft and shareholders from a big mistake.
