Reminds me of my first meeting at Yahoo after I started at WBR. I was a huge fan of delicious pre-acquisition and wanted to meet with Joshua to see if there was any way to tie music and our artist sites in with the service. I e-mailed him I think to setup a meeting. We show up and our meeting is in the very, very back of the office in a conference room. Josh is there as well as a guy is his boss and another guy. We find out this is the first time Josh had ever met his boss (this is about four months post acquisition) and the other guy didn't know why he was there, but the meeting had showed up on his calendar. It was singularly awkward. I used Yahoo back when it was still on the stanford.edu servers and called "David and Jerry's Guide to the World Wide Web" I social engineered my way into the old wooden building when making a documentary on how people in the service sector were dealing with the "information super highway" in 1999 during a conference. A lot of great people and great technology went into that company and came out of that company. I hope for at least legacies sake someone can figure out how to turn it around. The misguidedness is not new however, and I have lots and lots of stories from the last five years of dealing with them.
