What Now for Yahoo!?
from the waiting,-watching... dept
The SJ Merc is taking a closer look at Yahoo and its acquisition strategy to see if they can take any guesses about where they're going to go next. Personally, I think Yahoo has been very smart, and very careful about their acquisitions. They haven't been nearly as acquisition happy as other companies, and I think that's paid off. They don't have to deal with as many integration problems or (worse) having to sell off mistakes. While some people complain about Yahoo not moving fast enough, I think they're actually showing that they don't respond to hype and instead act on deals that really add value to the company.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
