I think this might go down as the moment where Yahoo? lost their last shred of credibility as a technology company. And it's not this one mistake that signals the end...it's the fact that I'm not that surprised by it. If it were Google or even Facebook I would be shocked. But Yahoo? Yeah, sounds about right.
For a long time I've said that Yahoo? needs to forget the fact that they started as a search company. They're still a serious player in online display advertising and they own a lot of properties that are disproportionately valuable in terms of CPM. They should stop trying to come up with new doohickies and focus on what they do best - selling targeted advertising to major advertisers.
It's a shame that they didn't hit the goldmine like google or fb did, but there's no point in letting the past get in the way of the opportunities of the moment. Yahoo could still be one hell of an ad network.
- spoiledtechie 14y agoI have to agree with you. They have lost all cred as a tech company and have been circling the toilet for a while. Sadly, I think this has a lot to do with management and very little to do with engineers. I personally feel they are just sitting comfortable trying to squeeze every dollar out of the company.
