Yahoo! and the next 87 days (and counting)
Yahoo! is underrated.
The web is filling up with how to fix Yahoo! articles – some technical, some managerial – most, including myself, believe Yahoo! can do it. It is great that co-founder Jerry Yang has stepped up to the challenge suggesting the next 100 days are critical. Successful turnarounds that I have been part of involved bringing in passionate outside talent as well – they often can implement the tough decisions that will lie ahead for Yahoo!.
Audiences and advertisers will be better served by several firms vying for their attention and business. C’mon Yahoo!, we are rooting for you.
Sicko and The Namesake
