To Yahoo Employees - What do you think of the acquisition from AOL? Does it help bring more clarity about the future of Yahoo!
Lol sounds like a former yahoo
Yo future
What about the potential acquisition of Yahoo by Verizon?
It does. I am excited. It was the right thing for Yahoo. We have great products but needed a parent. Verizon, aol and yahoo can do it together.
This company has too many koolaid cheerleaders. Put three losers together and expect something useful to come out of it
Lol I can't believe someone is excited about working for Verizon
right? and Verizon stands for Truth Horizon. WTF!! Bell Atlantic was better honestly
There are so many hot trends in tech and yahoo has pretty strong engineering talent and knows how to scale. Why didn't yahoo try acquiring a company like door dash, grub hub, an Airbnb competitor, etc before selling to Verizon. Those companies have nailed product, and are hungry for engineers. Yahoo has had no direction for years, they might as well could have picked one of these companies and mobilized most of yahoo to succeed in that.
Exactly. Yet Mayer chose Tumblr instead
That was an OK bet at the time. Social was hot then. Problem is the lack of follow through. If FB bought tumblr, it would have been more successful. Now the waves in tech are like transportation, VR, drones, automation/IOT.
Oh. Cut the "future" crap !!
