- inactive, on 07/05/2008, -2/+8That's what you learn in Business school. How to have meetings for everything so you can hear yourself talk for hours and really say nothing and never make a decision so if it does go wrong you can blame it on someone else. That and how to golf and do sorority chicks and do 12 shots of Patron. Business major students are some of the biggest idiots I have ever met with an exception of a couple.

Where do I sign up? - nixfu, on 07/05/2008, -2/+4Wow...this sounds just like Microsoft's insane amount of bureaucracy that has pretty much put that company with one foot in the grave.
I guess Microsoft + Yahoo ==perfect fit. Apparently, their management teams deserve each other. And after all, why destroy one good technology company with crappy management, when you can use twice the people to destroy two of them in half the time.

- MelvinSchlubman, on 07/05/2008, -2/+3Rogozhin, it's like rubber-necking a wreck on the highway -- hard not not be curious about how bad the disaster is.
Sounds like the MBAs have a strangle-hold now. RIP Yahoo! - ilgaz, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1Lets say, if you add a feature, a "cool thing" to Yahoo mail, you are effecting mailboxes and behaviour of 250 million (yes MILLION) active Yahoo mail users. If that feature is hated or somehow got a flaw, that exact day, millions got lost to some other free mail service.
Guys in Digg, Gmail universe. Please remember sizes of things before you comment. No, Gmail didn't takeover the planet, there are millions of people having my yahoo or www.yahoo as start page, yahoo is not someones personal start page to test cool things without massive testing and possibly paid alpha testing. - inactive, on 07/05/2008, -0/+1And sounds like that elitism is partially to blame, bro. For a long time Yahoo was unmatched at its place as the most visited website on the Internet. Because they accepted such a prize but opted not to do anything constructive with it - sounds to me like its inevitable doom and mess are deserved.
- AnarchoGoth, on 07/05/2008, -2/+3How about making many (most?) of their features unusable by "upgrading" them with bloated pieces of crap that don't work?
- inactive, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1Yahoo is failing not because of bad management or anything like that, but because their time has come and gone. All the valuable people started leaving a long time ago when the buzz died down, and as more valuable people left there was no one to fix the existing platform, so they just kept building new products and letting the old ones fall apart. Now the company is just a husk of its former self. If you walk the halls in Sunnyvale you'll see that most of the buildings are nearly entirely dark where there used to be incredibly sharp engineers. It's like walking through a ghost town.

- barryblogger, on 07/06/2008, -0/+0Where can I find one of those pictures that are supposedly up at Yahoo's headquarters of Carl Icahn as a Borg (from star trek). The article is up on Seeking Alpha here: http://seekingalpha.com/article/83178-yahoo-the-fi ... I'd love one of those!
- Rogozhin, on 07/05/2008, -1/+1Decent similie. I feel like a rubber necking goofball and I'm part of the disaster. :)
- Shaman760, on 07/05/2008, -4/+3Yahoo=AOL.
Just go away.
At least AOL didn't get a Chinese writer jailed for 10 years for expressing his opinion....

***** Jerry Yang & All the Yahoos. - PhailQuail, on 07/03/2008, -6/+4Uh, Yahoo? Gmail + Google + Digg kinda makes it useless, doesn't it?
- Rogozhin, on 07/05/2008, -4/+2I don't care and I work for them, why do you fools give a *****?
- Rogozhin, on 07/05/2008, -5/+2Yahoo is the new bar by which any internet portal is measured, but I still don't care and I work for them. Why do you wankers care about what happens to any of these companies, they're all doomed.
- SouljaBoyGoDie, on 07/05/2008, -4/+0The great thing about yahoo i believe is the front page. It is very similar to digg in that they both have very interesting articles I like to read.
Other than that, yahoo's crap. - inactive, on 07/05/2008, -7/+2Batman would own Hancock in WWE.
- googs2, on 07/05/2008, -8/+1I'm a business student, you are clearly an oblivious individual, the next big thing in business is brainstorming and devils advocacy as a collective groups ideas and strong and people with differing backgrounds all add in some respect some item that others could not. Don't be mad that others are more successful than you.
