Yahoo needs to kill off half of their products and just focus on four things:
* news (finance & sports)
* Search & Portal (that's where they make $$$)
* YMail (because there are still millions of users)
* fantasy sports and extend it.
Spin off Tumblr and Flickr into a startup focus on content and high-quality photo source (TBH there is very little quality content on Tumblr and the attraction / hype is gone - speaking from user after five years of using Tumblr), and other applications should be killed, including their article reading mobile app, Developer network, and the newly resurrected Y! Messenger.
BTW, Yahoo is one of the most generous companies out there paying security bounty (good and bad for too many submissions :] )
- aylmao 11y agoDisagree about Tumblr. A year ago it was still the fastest growing social platform, and it still proves to be (especially in 2015) the big source of viral internet content.
- yeukhon 11y agoFastest doesn't mean actually making tons of money. Sure vaulation on # of user, but a business can't live forever with # of users. How many of these users are making original contents? I keep seeing posts from years ago getting liked over and over by the people I follow on Tumblr.
