Comparing Internet Companies' Productivity

Is there a scale that shows how much they are paid versus how much they actually do? If so, where would Yang and others fall on that scale? Sure, he only makes $1 a year (wink) but what about some of those others? Surely a pruning off the top is worth more than a huge chunk out of the trunk of the tree. Probably where the cuts really need to made, since this is a company that seems to lack any decent leadership or management. They could save millions of dollars. The kind like those already wasted on Semel, and so many others smart enough to have cut and run already.

What's Ailing eBay and Yahoo?

One of Yahoo's big issues is an inability to fully monetize a huge asset like Flickr. This is because it is actually full of pornography that most legitimate advertisers would never want their company name to sponsor directly. Yahoo needs to clean up their act and provide social network platforms their advertising clients can utilize. It's sad enough Flickr has been exposing kids to that unlabeled adult content for years now. Yahoo, which supposedly supports the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, should know better than to host thousands of sexual predators and pedophiles like they have so foolishly in the past with their chat rooms. Nobody wants their ads on that stuff. What are they thinking?
