Tension Building At Yahoo; Exec Meeting Late Tuesday Could Bring Detailsc
As we reported first this weekend, Yahoo executives from VP up are meeting for a video conference call late this afternoon Pacific time where at least some details about the company’s future management structure could be unveiled. The tom-toms are beating very loudly about Lloyd Braun again from all directions; the way one person who hasn’t been quick to jump on those rumors in the past put it to me, Braun’s departure is “TBD but likely.” Of course, we’ve heard he was out before and here we are a year later with Braun still in place. He could ontinue to have the half-life of radioactive waste or this could finally be it.
Meanwhile, to say the Yahoos —and folks who do business with them—are unsettled is beyond understatement. If this isn’t the day they get some answers, it had better be soon.

As a Yhoo shareholder, for the love of god tell me that Semel and Braun have been booted. That is all I want at this point. Oh please!!!!

Braun should not go - YMG is actually gaining traction; contrast their recent successes to the Yahoo Video flop out of Sunnyvale. And Yahoo 360 - who was responsible for that one? He should be kicked to the curb.

Braun done NOTHING he should have been fired a while ago- send him back to his high-paid corporate suit gig that gets him a corner office- David Katz obviuosly saw the writing on the wall and quit- AGAIN just like he did at CBS, obviously another young kid who thought he was talented and didn’t cut it- if he was good Moonves would have kept him-
