Yang’s Yahoo: more of the same
When he took over from Terry Semel, Jerry Yang promised a top-to-bottom review of Yahoo’s operations, with "no sacred cows."
So what has this produced? Not a lot, to judge from Yang’s blog post on the matter today. Despite the talk of more focus, breadth still counts: Yahoo’s main mission is still to be the "starting point for the most consumers" on the internet.
At least Yang had some good numbers to show today from his first few weeks at the top. Now, if he can just string together a few more quarters like this one, investors will surely forgive him all that empty rhetoric.
