Re: Yahoo!
It is sad to watch Yahoo fizzle out the way it has. Yahoo was once a promising company.

Re: Yahoo!
@Michelle with some very memorable commercials! But in truth I only had an account for some community groups and even let that slide a year or two ago.

Re: Yahoo!
> "Yahoo is essentially a dying company."
Agreed. However, its asssets and traffic are still quite valuable. It's not innovating anymore, but that doesn't mean it can't help some other company build up a nice ad tech business.

Re: Yahoo!
@mhhf1ve that's possible. We have to start thinking of have to evaluate nonphysical assets in the context of a digital ecosystem.

Re: Yahoo!
Verizon acquiring Yahoo will be the ultimate "death" of Yahoo. Everything happening now is just its transition to selling off its stake in Alibaba and winding down its operations as an independent company. I really have to wonder what motivation any Yahoo employees have right now to do their jobs. They must all be looking for new positions elsewhere.

Re: Yahoo!
What a terrible situation for Verizon. Of course they are going to want to pay less for Yahoo now - what could have been a good PR boost is now causing them damage. I'm not surprised Verizon is going to put on the screws.

Re: Yahoo!
The lesson here learned is that not every transformation is necessary successful or will yield results. Furthermore, the old advice from Andy Grove, "...only the paranoid survive"..and to always be hungry is even more so true now.

Re: Yahoo!
Digital Assets & IP is one of the most valuable things Yahoo still has I believe. I do believe, though, that they sold some of the IP not so long ago.
