Re: Yahoo!
That's unfortunate--but I continue to be optimistic about Yahoo in the New Year because I view Verizon as quite savvy especially as it \has worked to integrate AOL into its' strategy. Let's remain optimistic--while vigilant in the new year.

Re: Yahoo!
@elizabeth It's a shame when companies fail to innovate in favor of very wrong assumptions about the future. There seems to have been a lot going wrong at Yahoo for a very long time. We're seeing the symptoms now for sure.

Re: Yahoo!
I love the idea of choices and variety in our world that seems to continually force you one way or another anymore. But still have to doubt Yahoo's ability to remain relevant. I've been told that employers won't even consider calling an employee with a yahoo email address. So while I'd imagine it's not completely lost, they would have to do a complete upgrade and turn-around to even hope to remain relevant anymore.

Re: Yahoo!
@Michelle - I thought catching spam was the only reason anyone had been keeping a Yahoo account for years now..... On a serious note though, I really don't feel that bad for them. They've been going downhill for awhile now and with ample time and opportunity to turn things around and catch back up with the other big players. They didn't. Especially where technology is concerned, if you want to stay in charge, you have to stay relevant.

Seen & Heard: Verizon Gets Cold Feet on Yahoo Deal
I was shocked as I was reading this article because I have a yahoo account and I hope this never happens to me, my friends, or anyone. I want to see where this goes in the future to see how they protect people's accounts, privacy, and more. I believe they should lower the price for the deal because if this keeps happening then noone is not going to want a yahoo account. I don't know if they did this but they should definitely look into some better cyber attack security in able to keep the price of the asking. I am still shocked about this article because this could of happened to anyone and they could have got there personal information stolen.

Re: Yahoo!
I continue to view Yahoo as being quite viable again with the IP that it does have and the user base it continues to have--if I had a 1/10 of the users for my current startup, I'd be very very happy!!!    Let's route for them--we need choice and variety in this ever changing world  :) :)

Re: Yahoo!
I guess I missed the AOL connection. It would seem possible to revive Yahoo after keeping AOL alive all this time.

Re: Yahoo!
I would argue both.   The problem is whether this will endure or not.    Tim Armstrong is quite a marketer and as he's worked to somehow sustain AOL, he will also figure out how to sustain Yahoo as well.

Re: Yahoo!
I'm really curious about what will be done with Yahoo after the sale. How to you salvage a brand that's been through this kind of trouble? Do you address security issues or branding first?

Re: Yahoo!
Happy Day After Christmas to all!!   The resiliency of the stock is amazing--and that's putting it mildly.  But as all know, most of the value is based on Alibaba and Yahoo Japan as the effective valuation of the "core business" is effectively zero.   As i have noted (and many have concurred) hope the deal goes thru for the thousands who've remained and some are very talented--and I have the pleasure (as I am sure many do as well) know many who continue to "stick it out" to the end.
