Part of our organizational streamlining involves cutting our investment in underperforming or off-strategy products to put better focus on our core strengths and fund new innovation in the next year and beyond.

Well, bummer.
I have nothing to say, really.
Fuck off.

IM is a field that could gain a lot of usefulness from simple APIs.

"Yahoo! Updates platform" just sounds nasty.

Hack Girls
Popcorn! Yahoo hat beim Yahoo Hack Day in Taiwan “Hack Girls” engagiert – um Lapdances zu geben. Während sie das 2008 noch so kommentiert haben:
The evening entertainment (Hack Girls) was an interesting contrast to Girltalk at Sunnyvale Open Hack Day the weekend before.
klingt das 2009 etwas anders – nachdem es doch die eine oder andere Stimme gab, die das nicht so toll fanden.

A place for human beings in a future media landscape that is increasingly automated
It’s precisely because Yahoo sits at the intersection of media and technology that it attracts such attention. Google and Microsoft seem content to wage a technological war based on who has the smartest programmers, the best algorithm, the most servers. Yahoo, meanwhile, sees a place for human beings in a future media landscape that is increasingly automated.
That’s why the emotion that Yahoo attracts isn’t anger, but sadness; not rage, but disappointment. Yahoo could be so much better than it is, if only it weren’t saddled with visionless leaders, subpar management, and a do-nothing board. Ah, the irony: The best hope of humanity keeps getting tripped up by its people.
Valleywag, nur sehr dezent snarky und auf jeden Fall wahr.
