Yahoo! Black Friday
I know it’s a bit too soon to speak, but is 24, 25 really a “black friday” for Yahoo!? 5 point premium over the start of this whole debacle?
And I, for one, think Jerry did the right thing. I know, I know, fiduciary duty, shareholder value, blah blah. He made his bed with shareholders and he has to live with it. But in my mind, Kenji summed it up pretty nicely yesterday when I said I was against the merger: “why because Microsoft makes things that are broken and confusing and no one wants, and Yahoo! makes cool shit that does useful things and are well made?”
Yeah. That.
Yahoo!’s a better company. It builds better stuff.
That being said, of course, it’s stock is woefully pathetic for how awesome the company is, and there’s no one to blame but the leadership. Maybe it’s time for someone else to take the reins. Of course, they tried that before and where did they get? And who would run it? Ideas?
