Comments on: Showtime for Yahoo's Bartz

One year after a raucous annual meeting, things should be quieter for Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz at Thursday's shareholder meeting. Still, they'll want to know the plan.

With the huge success of Bing and Microsoft's commitment to invest in the search market for the next 10 years, I don't think Yahoo has any chance. The sooner they partner with Microsoft, the better.

I like Bing and most people I know have either switched to it or are using Bing as the second search engine. Eventually Bing will beat Yahoo and Yahoo's search will be worth a lot less than it currently is. Just like Yahoo is not worth $33/share now.

who told you bing is a great sucess - get your facts right - Bing is helped msn to take up your ( i am sure yiou are inside microsoft or a string supporter) market share from 8% to 8.4% . now with a 5% increase in your performace and taking about a .4% increase in market share You call it a great sucess ? so get your facts correct before you speak up - microsoft can never compete with google - only way is join yahoo ... then you stand a chance

Dude, why do you guys keep using 15-20 year old photo of Bartz in every single article? I mean look at the pic on news.cnet.com. Couldn't you have kept the photo in the article over there?

Yahoo better do something quick with their search property or within a year or two it won't hold any value for anyone but themselves. Microsoft and Google can spend them into the ground. Thats something they just won't be able to match.

Yahoo search results in the last 6 months to a year have resembled ask.com then even the old yahoo search and they use to be my 2nd favorite search engine...So I don't know what they have done to their search engine but it ain't good and is getting worse...So for her to under estimate & devalue the search engine tells you she has all her priorities in the wrong place & thats gonna be her first and maybe her biggest mistake...Just the knowledge that MS wants it should have made her refocus all her efforts to rebuilding and competing with google...
