Nick Waye - A company that could have been a contender for the cloud (Still could but in a niche market) along Google, MS and Amazon. They have given a lot to the the Open source community and had a pretty decent web platform. Alas poor decisions and years with no direction doomed them. Remember they bought Geo Cities and broadcast.com for billions. They bought Flickr and Delisous and never owned social. Yang had a vision, but no ability and nor corporate culture to execute against it. While I respect his convictions, he had a fiduciary responsibility to a least make the deal with Microsoft. Cautionary tail for valley start-ups and one of the many reasons Twitter, Facebook, etc are not in a rush to go public.Mar 15
David Dickens - I don't know Nick. How many other start-ups are Yahoo? The deal with MS would have been the end of Yahoo (what little was still Yahoo). I suppose if all companies only have one vision statement "make as much money this quarter as possible" then yeah. As I said, I don't defend Yang, I accuse those duties.
You point out the real problem though, Yahoo had lost it's corporate identity some long time before.Mar 15

Nick Waye - Facebook by all accounts is Yahoo circa 1998. And the deal as currently structured does not end Yahoo, just outsource its core competency search. Was this the deal offered to Yahoo under Yang?Mar 16
p0ps Harlow - Is it not possible for Yahoo to gain a foothold in social with another friend-feed-buzz two way, activity-stream-aggregating/publishing platform with granular control thru a simple UI on Pipes?
Don't they still have some good will from the openness they have exhibited and because they didn't destroy Flickr or delicious?
Wouldn't the usefulness of an unencumbered simple, open and social web conversation conneting service let us forgive their mistakes (perhaps not for creating Mark Cuban) but, forgive them for the false starts and missed opportunities? Mar 16

Nick Waye - Well put @p0p, especially the part about Mark Cuban, that guys a douche. Yahoo still has good will with the web community. Would it be cool if Yahoo and Google teamed up and built a "friend-feed-buzz two way, activity-stream-aggregating/publishing platform with granular control thru a simple UI on Pipes?" Better yet what if Yahoo was the first big provider to deploy a Federated Wave server for Yahoo Mail? I just got aroused. Mar 16
John Blossom - Somewhere along the line Yahoo decided that they could be a publicly held online media company with traditional media company goals and returns. Oops. Yahoo is still enormous, yet it's managed to become an AOL-like niche player in terms of mindshare. I agree with the premise that Yang blew it with the Microsoft deal, but at the end of the day it was probably a blessing to Microsoft - they are creating a better product step by step with far fewer legacy issues. Bottom line, Yahoo going public in the dot-com era turned out to be a curse as much as it was a blessing. They got locked into economic expectations that its competitors today don't face to the same degree. The same expectations led to a long parade of "adults" who made investors feel comfortable but who had little ability to propel the company forward in healthy ways. Time for Yahoo to crank up its own Demand.com solution - they may need it soon.Mar 16
Logan Lindquist - I think Jerry Yang made the CORRECT decision! Merging with Microsoft would have been a huge mistake.
If anyone should have or should buy Yahoo, I think of someone like Apple or Facebook.
Offloading the costs associated with maintaining a search engine to Microsoft is a great way for Yahoo to reduce its overhead.Mar 16
