Yahoo For Sale



The board canned Bartz, the WSJ's sources say, after studying the company's assets for two weeks and concluding that Bartz was doing a lousy job. If this is really true, one wonders what on earth the board has been doing for the past two years, while pretty much everyone else concluded the same thing.

lol this. I've been short on Yahoo for a while now. They are such a horribly run company.
 
I really don't understand how they managed to fuck up... it's beyond me.

They saw it coming, they saw everything coming! They saw how Google stole their market share, then saw how Facebook took a bite off their ass as well... but somehow they didn't learn. I just don't get it. Why haven't they come up with anything decent in the last 10 years besides Yahoo Answers?! What have they been doing all this time?

Microsoft is also messing up big time in their online endeavours, but at least they can say hey, we still pwn you all with Windows. Yahoo has nothing. It makes me sad and emotional because the FIRST thing I saw when I double-clicked on Netscape Navigator on my parents' Windows 3.1 powered computer back in 1995 was YAHOO!, and I loved it! That was my introduction to the interwebs. Makes me nostalgic and I feel sorry for them.
 
I have a friend who used to work for yahoo around the dotcom bubble time and he said his coworker was doing such a bad job that during her review they told her that she has to document every single thing she does throughout the day and because she's doing such a bad job she's only getting 30,000 shares that year.

I didn't even know Carol Bartz was fired. The stock isn't getting hit by the news really. It's actually up from where it was just the other day. I had heard for so long about rumors of the search engine being sold to Microsoft. I wonder if they will come in and be a player now.
 
I think if Yahoo was on Flippa, it would be way over valued. Probably end up selling for $1 trillion. I have seen some bad sites sell for $X,XXX on flippa...

It would be best if Google will take over yahoo...

That would NEVER happen. It would need regulatory approval and with all the issues with Goog right now, it would never pass.

Microsoft/Bing could be a potential buyer, but even then they would need to spend a bit of money to lobby for approval.
