Jerry Yang puts up a brave post on the Yodel Blog as the stock tanks over 20% after Microsoft pulls out.
But read the comments, he is getting hammered. (Someone posts a comment about Yanging them to Death)
I do believe Yahoo is a great company, I am strong believer in the content play, in fact more than the play
of looking for it (Search, Google). I dont mean to say that Yahoo will be bigger than Google. But Yahoo! too has a great future. If everyone lets them be.
Somebody i was speaking to the other day, mentioned the cliche' - "The Stock Market is Ruthless"... I think retail investors and most institutional investors are a bunch of pussies.
Well, I personally don't hate Yahoo! services or anything.. but they have always been disappointing to me... it's Google all the way..
The paid inclusion in their directory coupled with the fact that Flickr(a Yahoo company) has included videos for upload now (a desperate attempt to grab some of the market share so dominated by you-tube/google) just pisses me off...!
the new Yahoo! mail Beta is pretty slick though..
cheers!
