For Yahoo, a Chase to the Bottom
Keywords:
Internet content and communications provider Yahoo, is losing ground. Compared to a 4% growth for the Internet overall, Yahoo's increase in unique vistors was 4%, according to comScore in the 4 months of 2010 to April. Total minutes dropped 11%, and page views dropped 13% in same period, compared to double digit increases for the Web. Yahoo CEO, Bartz, lacks a background in journalism and content development. And AOL is pursuing a similiar strategy. Yahoo agreed to acquire Associated Content which aggregates content from bloggers, and it is making trials with local content in Detroit and Cleveland for user engagement. Bartz plans to revamp the email interface. Analysts sense that the repair job will be tough for Bartz as Yahoo's image has suffered.

Jerry Yang- co-founder of Yahoo
05/27/2010
The resignation of Jerry Yang on Jan. 17, 2012, marked the end of a role that spanned two decades. Yahoo set up Yahoo during the early days of the Internet in 1995 as a basic search tool to navigate the web. Yahoo was replaced as the main search engine by newcomer Google which used an algorithm based approach. Efforts to set a recovery at Yahoo in motion failed when CEO Carol Bartz resigned, followed by the exit of Yang. Like America on Line (AOL) which provided the basic internet connection service in the early days of the web only to be replaced by phone and cable companies with new broadband service in the next decade, Yahoo has never recovered.

New Cast Atop Yahoo Faces Stubborn Troubles

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
