The Future Yahoo! CEO Nominee Discussion…
by David Dalka on June 17, 2008 in Customer Experience, Yahoo! (YHOO)
OK, Kara Swisher started this discussion(I’m not saying it’s going to happen), but I question her fundamental assertion that Jerry Yang is the person calling the shots. The memo regarding Jeff Weiner’s departure came from Sue as does most of the primary communication messaging. Many think Sue is the one that is in charge for [...]
Have We Entered The Era of The Functional Web?
by David Dalka on February 3, 2008 in Entrepreneurship, Microsoft (MSFT), Venture Capital, Yahoo! (YHOO)
The New York Times has an article on how the potential sale of Yahoo! to Microsoft could be bad for minnows, i.e. small Silicon Valley companies looking to be acquired.

by David Dalka on January 30, 2008 in Yahoo! (YHOO)
So Michael Arrington got put on the spot on Fox Business News and the age old Microsoft/Yahoo! merger rumor resurfaced. It’s almost as frequent as a Rick Roll YouTube video link. I’ve written before about how this Microsoft rumor, which dates back to the days of Terry Semel, seems less likely to me than other [...]
del.icio.us Integrated Into Yahoo! Search Results (Finally)
by David Dalka on January 19, 2008 in Change Management, Social Media, Yahoo! (YHOO)
Michael Arrington has broken this extremely important story of Yahoo! integrating del.icio.us results into the search engine results on a test basis. As many of you might recall, founder Joshua Schachter (who has not yet bookmarked my blog in del.icio.us) sold del.icio.us to Yahoo! in December, 2005 making Fred Wilson a happy man. Many people [...]
