Yahoo is just mad that they are nowhere near as successful as Google.

I would too

Yahoo is old news. Microsoft probably made the right move bringing something fresh that has the chance of success like Bing rather than teach an old dog like Yahoo, new tricks.

Yeah, I agree. If he is not now, I'll bet Jerry Yang will be kicking himself in the future for not cashing out when he had the chance.

Agreed, but then again, Google only does search. They have other crap, but none of it is big ticket, and none of it is #1 like their search. Wouldn't you be upset if your neighbor made more than you for doing less?

Yes, I use their search, and have a Gmail account (not my primary), and like Google Earth, but I wouldn't pay for any of it. I certainly don't think Google should be a $30 billion dollar company (just like I think Microsoft would have been crazy to actually pay $40+ billion for Yahoo).

You'd think we would have learned from the first internet bubble bursting, the internet is a means of distributing information. It is NOT a big bank where you get to print your own money just because you know HTML. The acquisitions of Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, etc.. will prove disastrous in the end, a couple years from now, when no one gives a crap about any of those sites.

Yeah, I do but then I pull up Tom's, Wired or CNN...never Yahoo.

I think Jerry made the right move by NOT selling Yahoo.

Yahoo, after it got beaten by Google, seems kind of lost. like they dont know what they should do after.

They were stupid enough not to use their Brand image at its full potential.

Now Yahoo is being run by a dumb bitch, never a search company my ass.

Yahoo just gonna get worst. watch.

Yea! They gonna get worst! lol

So... is she going to sold Microsoft or Yahoo?

Carol Bartz just may get that company going. She's right though, as to me yahoo stopped being about search along time ago. Their chat rooms use to be popular back when they allowed user rooms, but since the spam bot problem got out of control and they didn't do anything about it there are just alot of bots spamming each other. Yahoo had groups and page profiles way before myspace, so to me it really missed the boat on social networking and now it's a bit late to try and catch up. It's gonna be hard cleaning up the mess that Yang left that's for sure.

Not a search company? Thanks for telling us..

Yahoo! doesnt put a big search box on their website. Wait, erk, they do.. nevermind..

Hmmm, when I wake up in the morning I say, "Dangit! It's morning already?" Then I go back to sleep. Do they have a page for that? -_-

Yes, there it is.

Hahahaha kidding

There is one party that is, in retrospect, happy with Yang to not sell...Microsoft.

Well before you start talking slick people marketing speak let's be clear, yahoo isn't facebook or myspace. It's a collection of stapled together pages that was built around before google was dominate. However now it's different. You have different brands built around a particular niche and google linking them altogether with their dominating search position in the market. That's not to say their other search engines but that's not yahoo's business so at the end of day you have eroding business model. Worse google has practically every service that Yahoo! offers. So yeah Yahoo! is a mess.

You have to admit, she is rather calm and collective with the demise of Yahoo! lingering.

He's probably already kicking himself for the mistake.

Yahoo was always mismanaged. They had smart people but kept releasing services that would only be abandoned and unsupported by yahoo a few months later. This was very apparent with their maps services a few years ago that used flash instead of an Ajax like engine like google. It did not print well and was scrapped a few months later (now it is fine though). As a result most people who review web services are not interested in anything yahoo was announcing. They appear to be a company that has no idea what they are doing and where they are going, because their website (their main search screen) is cluttered with categorized links. Microsoft is the same with their web services, but they sell desktop and enterprise software first (their cash cow) so it is a non issue for them.

yahoo isn't a search company with a highly noticeable search bar cuz Google patented it. lol

so they want to continue to be the portal they already are... now that's innovative!

Yahoo still exists?
I just use it for mail (because hotmail looks like shit, and have yet to try google's mail).

Yea yahoo really sucks after they're new Yahoo homepage, with all that tab popping BS. My new homepage is now iGoogle.

I google with bing all the time.

I use Bing every once and awhile to compare it to Google (which is what I normally use). Occasionally Bing surprises me with good results, but 90% of the time, Google has far more relevant links.

I never knew Jerry Yang was CEO of Yahoo!?...

I guess he doesn't need that World Series of Poker money. *shrugs* I'd still keep the bracelet though. Well I guess it all makes sense - Leave Yahoo!, play in WSOP, win bracelet, prove to people he can gamble with the big Dogs like MS. WOOT!

The b!tch has perfect 20/20 ass view.

Time will tell if Yang made the right move or not.

I'm surprised no one has commented on this yet. For Carol to be so readily pointing at her predecessor's mistakes to make herself look better is highly unprofessional. Personally, I wouldn't want anything to do with her; however, her ruthless personality might be the only thing that can save Yahoo, and most people are willing to take their money any way they can get it. So much for values... dignity and professionalism just aren't very profitable these days.

I love how you call her a "dumb bitch", yet according to you, Yahoo is going to get "worst".

Why is she such a "dumb bitch"? Because she's aggressive and outspoken? Because she wants the company to not only offer a search engine, but other features as well? What makes her so dumb according to you?

"You know, when they forced Khruschev out, he sat down and wrote two letters to his successor. He said - "When you get yourself into a situation you can't get out of, open the first letter, and you'll be safe. When you get yourself into another situation you can't get out of, open the second letter". Well, soon enough, this guy found himself into a tight place, so he opened the first letter. Which said - "Blame everything on me". So he blames the old man, it worked like a charm. He got himself into a second situation he couldn't get out of, he opened the second letter. It said - "Sit down, and write two letters"."

"Well, sure. You think I'm stupid?" she asked CNBC.

YES!
