Say what you want.  I’m surprised that they picked Jerry to run the company.  He obviously knows the company better than just about anyone, but with his having been there during the “rough times” I would have thought that they’d go for someone who brought a fresher perspective. That being said, I’m a huge fan of Yahoo and am looking for more greatness from them.

My analysis is here: http://sramanamitra.com/blog/1147. Yahoo can be turned around.

Yahoo! is a major player in the grand scheme of things and needs a fresh face to turn things around.  This is a start.  http://pixelspotlight.com/

Yahoo! must facing Google and MSN to be the best in its field!!

I think the key thing for Yahoo is focus, focus, focus. they seem to be missing the boat on so many things its makes them look like some second tier company. Focus and get something right and lead from that. Their efforts on Panama should be tripled since thats a great potential money maker.

So what if he is experienced enough, let him do it. At the moment Yahoo is 2nd after google. They could do a lot more to increse their market share. Time will tell…

Yahoo need some new blood for them to grow. By putting decker as the president, they hope he is able to take yahoo into greater heights. Look what have steve jobs done to apple!

Hope Jerry turns Yahoo arround

I think the key gadget for Yahoo is narrowing gap, indistinct, bottleneck. they seem to be missing the boat on so clutter adventures its makes the people upstairs look like some biparous tier chum. Focus and get person of renown right and aim wizard that. Their efforts on Panama be forced be tripled seeing that thats a bully natural gift kitty maker.

Jerry now step down, it is Decker that is replacing him and he is currently the president! How he (Jerry) is suppose to turn yahoo around when ihe is in the back seat? Guess Decker will now do a better jon then him and he seems more dynamic.

Very interesting and beautiful site. It is a lot of ful information. Thanks. Yahoo the BEST SE IN THE WORLD!

Yahoo has work to do to catch up to the level of google!

Now yahoo had a problem of being taken over by microsoft.

Looks like yahoo being taken over by microsoft is a done deal unless yahoo can come out with a great plan.

Yahoo need some new blood for them to grow, but yahoo remain poor while Same beside Google.

Yahoo is far behind google!

Know it is my job, Google is the number 1 and will remain so as long as the Internet exists.

I fully concur. Yahoo is lightyears behind Google. And Microsoft is lightyears behind Yahoo. But that’s a whole different story…

Microsoft abandon the plan to take over yahoo….. Looks like yahoo shares is going to take a tumble.

I still feel microsoft will buy over yahoo soon or later, they are just waiting for a good deal.

Their efforts on Panama should be tripled since thats a great potential money maker.

I keep on wondering why Yahoo hasn’t been sold. The offer from Microsoft was very huge but still they don’t accept. Obvisously this CEO isn’t satisfied with money.

Yahoo is dead, nobody can catch up with Google, when you think, is huge!

Here in Belgium almost nobody uses Yahoo: The rankings do simply not show the best on top, but Google does. I think the rankings of Google are simply the best and Yahoo will never be able to compete against Google.

Yahoo is ridicul next Google, I confirm, Google is and will remain the best!

Yahoo is the most trafficked site on the internet at the moment, dont dismiss them totally. The will be back.

Yahoo is bad, it’s simple, it can not peg the google !

MSN and Yahoo will have their day against google I think, really the technolgy for developing good search reults in google relies onj only one or two key factors.

It seems that Microsoft want to make an alliance with Google, someone can confirm ?

I am sure that there is an association between Microsoft and google!

I’m still not really convinced with that vision statement. I mean, vision needs to be simple and to the point. That vision sounds too complicated, and way too democratic. While Yahoo! Must listen to its customers, it cannot be everything to everybody otherwise it looses and just becomes a big hive of really everything but nothing at the same time. We don’t need an online Wal-mart of sorts : we need something that’s dedicated and focused to at least one mission (even if that mission is : to control all information in the world!)

Yahoo and google is hatching a deal on their advertising.

I think Microsoft is going to die a very slow and painful death in the years to come, since they are still charging their customers money for their products - unlike Google & co.

IT ABOUT TIME THEY LET HIM GO HE DRAGING YAHOO DOWN BIG TIME. JERRY YANG CAUSED BIG PROBLEMS FOR YAHOO AND THERE SHARE HOLDERS.

that was an inspiring post there..thanks a lot

this blog totally ROCKS ..;)

I would appreciate a compatibility heads up as cleverly (via Flickr is fine) in what periodever you use my photos in the in view.

i really like what you say about that..thanks

thanks for the post

Yahoo is far behind google

thanks nice article.

Really nice blog and nice articles.

Really thank you very much. i really like what you say about that..thanks
Yahoo and google are hatching a deal on their advertising.

I still prefer Google over Yahoo. I wish both companies luck though.

Really nice article, thanks a lot…

Thank you very very much.

Really great blog and really great articles carry on your great job…

I heard a lot of rumors Jerry would be put out of his position but never thought it’d actually happen. Maybe Yahoo’s services will improve now with someone else in charge

Very good article. Thanks for some sound advice. It’s a topic that all creative industries need to know a lot about.

yahoo is dying…

Great blog, interesting article…

I mostly use google but depending of my goal, sometimes yahoo offers better results.

Very nice article about a topic that is discussed in many blogs. I think yahoo could have been better than google. I guess Google has the money to grow so fast!

Is Yahoo totaly out??? What do you think?

Yes Yahoo is out!

Google is and will be the best search engine!

Thanks a lot really great article, carry on your great job !!!

I really wonder if Yahoo will stay forever. If you ask me, Google or Microsoft will buy them one day. If that happens, I hope Microsoft wins. If Google wins, it would get all the search market in its hands!

Yes I think so, I believe that Google will be so strong that they´ll buy all concurrents.

Yahoo shares gained 81 cents finish at $28.12 Monday, then surged $1.11, or nearly 4 percent, in the extended session. The company’s stock price has plunged by nearly 30 percent since the end of 2005

This is the time for new executive leadership, with different skills and strengths, to step in and drive the company to realize its full potential. I favor Google. It is winner of all times.

Google’s sales surpassed Yahoo’s after the fourth quarter of 2004 as searching the Web became more popular among consumers and companies bought more of the four-line text links that appear next to search results

It’s a topic that all creative industries need to know a lot about.  For info, I favor Google !!!!!
Yes very good article.

I also believe that Google will be so strong that they´ll buy all concurrents.

Google is becoming to powerful…

Google is the best. normally used yahoo. Thank you

Yahoo messed up by holding out for too much money from Microsoft. Yahoo CEO at the time did not understand how much the market had changed. Yahoo has not bee the only search engine in the game for a long long time. More over they have made some questionable business practices recently….He should have been out right fired and had his stock options striped.

At the moment google is really very powerful in the section of search engines but they got too powerful. OI dont have a good feeling how google is going to develope.

Yahoo needs to focus on the user experience like Google has been doing over the past few years. Competition is good and keeps Google on its toes so hopefully Yahoo will still be here in 5 years time and not just a memory.

I think Google will cancel Yahoo from the market in a few years. Just look at all the newiest things that google has brought the last months!

In a few years google will swallow microsoft, yahoo etc.

I think that yahoo won’t survive much longer…

You’re right. Yahoo has no future…

Once..this dude was on top of the world..well he is still super rich.

Yahoo has certainly future!

Never ever, yahoo is gonna be sold.

I’m also sure, that yahoo is gonna be sold. I don’t think, that yahoo can survive this crisis alone after the news of the last weeks…

They concentrated to much in advertisings, instead of offering a clear and simple search for their users. I personally don’t use yahoo, cause their site is really confusing with all these ads inside… :-/

I found your article while searching for infos about Jerry Yang… Funny that he’s out of the game again after nearly 18 month… :o)

Yang was a big error by yahoo!

Jerry Yang ist the greatest mistake of Yahoo. In comparison of Google he wakes up too late. Google is in Europe and in the US the giant and Yahoo is the looser.

In the year 1994 Yahoo was founded. 1998 folks Google. In the follow years Yahoo have lost a lot of points on the search engine market. And this is just the beginning. Yahoo have no chance to win against Google…

There is no future to yahoo.
We are so sadly!

yahoo is bad! i hope that cuill can figth google!

Cuill looks good but the searchresults are very bad. Microsoft will buy Yahoo this year. Trust me.

Really: Cuil is the biggest bullshit I have seen yet!

Really nice blog, i speack on my blog, thank.

You’re right. Yahoo has no future…thank

Yes, Cuill and Yahoo has no future. Thats right but i think Google has to mutch power. That´s also bad.

yahoo is already dead

who is yahoo ? Google is the world!

i want to use more than one search engine. yahoo have to be more popular.

Why using yahoo when having google?

Yahoo is gone!

Wer ist YAHOO? GOOGLE ist die Welt!!!
yahoo is already dead

Yahoo coming back.
Let’s keep this quiet!
