i can understand her optimism, but how are they going to take market share away from google?
according to google finance, google has about 20k employees bringing in 5.7B each quarter, and yahoo has about 14k employees bringing in 1.8B/quarter.
i think the yahoo plan is to get microsoft to buy the search platform and then make a advertising deal with google. this will not only get yahoo more money than they are worth now, but it will also make regulatory agencies happy.

It's amazing how an energized, focused leader with an "outside" perspective can make a world of difference. Look at Apple now.
- aaronblohowiak 18y agoYahoo is a content company, google is a search company. Unfortunately, being a content company is more labour intensive than being a search company, especially when you are trying to be an international company. Yahoo needs to get off the content train, sell some of its premium services and failed integrations (delicious, anyone?) and push harder on the "your mail contact list is your social network" push that they have going. Fortunately, they have a lot of good properties. Unfortunately, their integration is absolutely abysmal.
