Yahoo was a good company, but they missed their mark. Ironically, it wasn't Yang's fault. His predecessor who decided that Yahoo should be a media company (ala AOL) rather than a tech company (ala Google) screwed it up. So, the technology languished as they tried to throw poorly construed media at people. Only problem is that isn't profitable. Tech is.
So, now Yahoo either has to spend a ton to catch up with a company (Google) that shows no signs of slowing down or combine forces with another tech firm (Microsoft) who might be able to eek out something. Neither looks promising, but one definitely looks better.
