Yahoo firing 1,500 workers -3Q profit falls 64%

who knows...

Yang made one of the biggest bonehead moves of the year by not accepting the offer from MSN. Can't believe that he still has a job..

I am sure Yahoo will be hurt even more once the class action lawsuit by shareholders takes place for not working things out with Microsoft. Yang started something good once upon a time but I feel it has far outgrown him and he will never be able to lead it properly.

On another note, the slashing of employees helped the stock value a little bit today.

How about Google quietly letting up to 10,000 go: http://www.webguild.org/2008/11/goog...s-affected.php

What amazes me is that these SEs can let half their work force go and we don't see them skipping a beat! What crazy sh** were they working on?!?

The climate is now such for Google to take over the web completely and increase thier already large market percentage.
