Nice try, new Yahoo CEO. ;)
All kidding aside, they need to focus on some core products to start stabilizing their presence again. Give Flickr good leadership. Make Delicious a priority product. Figure out if the search product is worth maintaining.
Above all, they need someone scrappy and clever to lead, not just contain the flailing of their tentacles.
- jonursenbach 15y agoDelicious can't be a priority project; they sold it off a few months ago to the YouTube guys.
- robryan 15y agoTheir search is outsourced now to Bing, as far as I know anyway, so they can't really build around outsourced search.
- samstave 15y agoI am still reeling from this "strategy" - namely, WTF happened to all the infrastructure they previously had for search? Where are the machines, the staff, the datacenters that were in place for this?
- clobber 15y agoYahoo Search has almost always been outsourced. Even in the early days their search index was run by a third party (OpenText, then AltaVista, then Inktomi, then Google, now Bing).
