    I think a more focused yahoo is a really good idea. There are amazing things going on herein terms of technology but we need to clear out the cobwebs. And that's what is happening. The new revenue streams are growing very well but it just takes a couple years for that to make a dent in the secular decline of desktop time spent/UUs. The new stuff was like 33% of 2015 revs and this year will be 50 or more so, it's happening. She did a better job today of explaining that on the live webcast than I've seen her do externally before.

  • Yahoo has no identity. Sure they have Fantasy Sports and Finance but it's not like they aspire to be ESPN or Bloomberg. They're a far 2nd or 3rd in a bunch of areas.

    It's hard and I don't envy MM's position. Google has search. FB has the graph. Microsoft dominates in the enterprise space. Yahoo has ??

    Some people are just working through it. I'm sure few feel safe but many have been through this before. Yahoo celebrates tenure at 5 year intervals. Lots of loyalty and hope. Whole world has problems and media sure likes to fan the hate. Engineer here looking to celebrate 15 years at yahoo. Hoping those that leave land well (especially if one of em is me !)
