    Yahoo Shareholders Transfer $2.9 Billion To Microsoft Shareholders

    Quoted: Anyone wondering who got the better deal today (my detailed thoughts later) need only look at the stock movements of Yahoo and Microsoft. Yahoo dipped 12.08% to $15.14, knocking $2.91 billion off their market cap. Microsoft gained 1.41% to $23.80, adding…$2.94 billion to their market cap.

    Yahoo’s new CEO fields tough shareholder questions at her first annual meeting | VentureBeat

    I am becoming a fan of Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz.

    Quoted: Asked about whether Yahoo should display more hard news on its home page, Bartz said, “I’m with you. If I see another thing on Britney Spears, I will throw up.” The intent, she said, is to deliver news that people want in a personalized way.

    Mark Cuban Weighs In on Yahoo (aka, a Jerry Yang Nightmare) [BoomTown]

    Quoted: BoomTown, who never met a Yahoo story I didn’t like to write up, is handing over the stage today to hyperactive entrepreneur Mark Cuban, who just weighed in on what Yahoo should do. Literally, his post yesterday on his Blog Maverick site is titled “What Yahoo Should Do,” and he lays waste to a lot of the conventional wisdom about the Internet portal’s

    Congratulations Google, You’re the New Microsoft [Digital Daily]

    Quoted: Google abandoned [its deal with Yahoo] not because pressing ahead with it “risked” a protracted legal battle, but because it guaranteed one. I wrote that on Nov. 6, following the official dissolution of Google’s (GOOG) proposed advertising partnership with Yahoo (YHOO). Turns out the guarantee to which I referred was an ironclad one.

    Icahn Picks Up More Yahoo Shares On The Cheap

    Quoted: Carl Icahn bought up another 6.8 million shares of Yahoo earlier this week, bringing his total holdings to 75.6 million shares (just shy of 5 percent). He paid just under $10 a share, or about a third of what he paid last May when he started building the bulk of his position. Of course, now he controls three seats on Yahoo’s board, including the one

    Yahoo Closes At $13.76. What A Train Wreck.

    Quoted: I guess the upside is that a stock can’t fall below zero, so there’s an end in sight to the ongoing destruction of jobs and shareholder wealth at Yahoo. The stock closed at $13.76 today, down another 5.6%. And this isn’t just part of the market’s overall meltdown - the Nasdaq fell just 0.8% today, and Google, Yahoo’s main direct competitor, was down

    Yahoo’s Promises v. Yahoo’s Reality: Congress Finally Gets It

    Quoted: Congress is finally understanding the reality of the Yahoo-Google search deal, and what it means for the state of search competition in general. It’s not about price fixing advertising rates, it’s about neutering the second place market participant. As I wrote on September 27, the current deal between Yahoo and Google will inevitably lead to the decline

    Yahoo Stock Falls Off The Cliff. When Will Jerry Give Up?

    Lower than the low just prior to the first MS announcement.

    Quoted: Yahoo’s already crushed stock price has fallen further today - its down 8.36% since this morning, bringing it to a nearly five year low of $17.75. Yahoo has been as high as $34 in the last year (thanks to that Microsoft takeover bid), which means nearly $23 billion has been taken out of shareholder pockets in that period.

    Yahoo pushes its location platform Fire Eagle out of the nest so it can spread its wings

    Quoted: I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: Location, location, location. As computing continues to go mobile it’s an increasingly important feature for many web services. Knowing that, Yahoo has built a developer platform around location called Fire Eagle. Today, Yahoo is officially letting it spread it wings to the public. The service began closed alpha
