Why Did Yahoo's Carol Bartz Use Shareholders' Money to Pay Taxes? [View article]
1. The deal with Microsoft is crap & will only serve to reduce competition & customer choice. It should be rejected by the DOJ. Should all lessor music services merge, to create a bigger competitor to iTunes? NO, because one will eventually emerge with a strong enough business plan to challenge iTunes (e.g. Spotify?). When there is money to be made, innovative people/companies will try to figure out a way to get some of it.
2. Yahoo will always have a good percentage of search, by virtue of the fact that they have some GREAT internet properties (Yahoo Finance, Yahoo Mail, Flickr, etc.). Plus, Yahoo is in the process of introducing some great native mobile apps for the iPhone, etc. that should have the effect of driving more traffic to their properties (increasing search & search revenue).
Yahoo needs a visionary leader that can recognize the value of Yahoo's assets & leverage them, to get the most out of the REAL revenue generator in their business: Search & display ads.
