Over and over see references to yahoo’s content. But Moore in the interview starts out by saying that they mostly just aggregate stuff. Their news comes mostly from AP as far as I can tell.

Google aggregates through automation, Yahoo does the same with a combination of automation and manual tinkering.

Yahoo’s big audience is there through inertia not innovation.

The game changer since Google is their ability to handle more raw data than anyone else. Yahoo hasn’t begun to address that (except with Flickr) and Microsoft seems to be buying buildings and filling hem with servers, but it’s not clear they know what to do with them.

Yahoo is past saving I think.

For Microsoft, who talks down cloud computing as unreliable, it remains to be seen if they can convince users and businesses that the unreliable cloud and their unreliable OS can be somehow combined in a way that doesn’t square the problem.

Kara,

You are clearly all over the YHOO story, but sadly now matter how many times Yang rearranges the deck chairs, the RMS Yahoo is still going to sink as long as three names are still on the payroll:

Jerry, Sue & Roy need to go. All of the rest is just window dressing and is a way for Yang to feed his already bloated ego. He seems to be the ONLY person around that hasn’t figured out that he is the problem, not the solution.
