Yahoo had a big executive revival event the other day ith a keynote by Steve Jobs.
Quoted: What do you do when you want to inject a little inspiration into a company that needs a lot of it? Do you hold an all-day meeting of top execs where you actually outline specific goals and exhibit better leadership? Do you admit your corporate culture is a little weak and promise to focus on strengthening it? Do you trot out all the senior execs and let them talk about their concrete plans (and, better still, actually prepare them to deliver their spiel with some level of quality)? Do you do some post-lunch touchy-feely group exercises to get people talking? Best of all, if you really want to send things over the top, do you bring out an icon so beloved as to give goosebumps to explain to the troops how he managed to turn his once-beleaguered and now-soaring company around?

This is a pretty aggressive play by Yahoo! to take over the primary search market. Use our stuff and we'll give you a bunch of stuff... I might switch for a while if they do this...

Cool article in Business 2.0 about the founder of del.icio.us and what he's going to be working towards now that he sold out to Yahoo.
Quoted: Right before Joshua Schachter announced in mid-December that Yahoo was acquiring his social-bookmarking startup, Del.icio.us, I'd spoken with Schachter more than once about the future of the company, and never had he remotely hinted that a sale was in the works. Quite the contrary, actually. So when we met for lunch the following week, I asked if getting bought had been in the cards all along. Of course, it was always a possibility, Schachter said between bites of a monster cheeseburger. But I didn't take it seriously until there was a tangible opportunity on the table. I tend not to fantasize about this stuff--that's just magical thinking.

Quoted: Even as its profits continue to soar, Yahoo Inc. keeps letting down investors demanding even bigger gains from the Internet powerhouse as advertisers shift more of their spending to the Web.
