what s wrong with yahoo
In past few weeks that has emerged as the single issue many Yahoo employees have discussed with me. [1]
But for some reason, the index quotes on Yahoo Finance are stuck at their levels from earlier this afternoon, and show the Dow down 215 and the Nasdaq down 38. [2]
Throughout these past weeks of the Yahoo! proxy fight, we’ve heard a lot of opinions about Yahoo! from lots of stakeholders except one group: current Yahoo.s. [3]
For years, Yahoo has provided the Internet community with reasonably well maintained, stable services in the form of Yahoo Mail, Yahoo Groups and Yahoo messenger. [4]
Therefore, I would like to offer this blog “Breakout Performance” for such a purpose — pointing out what’s right and what’s wrong with Yahoo! To do so, feel free to comment anonymously to this post. [...] But, we have never really heard from the Yahoo! employees through these haggard last few weeks. [3]

HBO series The Wire co-creator Edward Burns used that quote to describe the drug culture, bankruptcy of the political establishment and eventual fall of some of the great American cities in an interview with Reason magazine. [1]
Something weird is happening - again - with the stock index quotes on Yahoo Finance. [2]
For years, Yahoo groups (formerly known as eGroups) provided efficient and well organised services to hundreds and thousands of mailing lists, clubs, groups of people, etc. [4]
Look at some of the public statements by those who have left recently and you will realize that the rot is very deep seated in this company. [1]
For example, Jerry says that Yahoo! has a plan and is executing against it. [3]
Yahoo! is making changes to its technology organization, led by Chief Technology Officer Ari Balogh, to better position the company to execute on its strategic priorities. [1]
We’ve even heard from the stock analysts and industry analysts — even though they have no skin in the game (although neither do some members of Yahoo.’s board — but Mr. Bostock and Mike Callahan assured us on Friday that those board members now follow a rule that they have 3 years in which to get some skin in the game). [3]
Just sit back and watch as your brand new, unknown account starts filling up with spam. [4]
