Comments on: Jerry Yang: I'm a fighter

The Yahoo CEO, hit hard in recent months by a tepid economy and a failed takeover bid from Microsoft, now has to deal with the dissolution of its hyped (but controversial) search ad deal with Google.

Unfortunately, he's also losing.

McCain said the same thing and look what happened to him.

well i hope you read this Jerry ying Yang, you are one of the biggest reasons why Yahoo is failing. And it will continue to no matter what. Reason: because you and no matter who you turned the company doesn't go back to what Yahoo used to be, you have stopped alot of projects, you don't listen to your users anymore, you practically used them by listening to them, getting to where you needed to line your pockets and shut them all out. I would LOVE to own Yahoo can't afford it. But with the people you have it would be back and running where it used to be and far better.One department at a time. I would love to see the YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOO put back into what is yea yahoo now

Yeah, right. The heading should be "Jerry Yang: I'm an incompetent *****".

First, he doesn't know how to run the business, then he ruins negotiations with MS due to the badly lacking business skills, then he starts running around, thinking of selling himself to anyone just to prove MS wrong. After finding a suitor he gladly bends over with a smile, pretending to enjoy it. It was obvious from the start that #1 and #2 will not be allowed to merge because of the antitrust considerations. Obvious to anyone, but poor "I am a *****" Jerry. Google and MS didn't lose anything here, Jerry managed to turn himself in a laughingstock and wiped out billions of shareholder values.

Yahoo doesn't need a fighter. It needs a visionary leader.

Or at this point, a successful disassembly strategy. One two companies get my money online: Apple for iTunes and Yahoo! for Flickr and Launchcast. And Yahoo! didn't originate either Launchcast or Flickr, both were purchases. I'm sure Yahoo!'s got a lot of value still locked up, perhaps it would make more sense to start selling or spinning stuff off to unlock value.
