Business 2.0 Trashes Yahoo!'s Terry Semel

An Anonymous Coward writes "Thought you might be interested in a story which just posted on the Business 2.0 Web site, which questions Terry Semel’s leadership of Yahoo!, ripping into how Semel’s background as a Hollywood mogul isn’t translating effectively into the dot-com arena." I've pointed out before how funny it is to see the up and down reviews of Semel (just a month ago there was an article saying he had turned Yahoo! around). Reading the article, though, it doesn't sound as though he's necessarily made bad decisions. The biggest complaint is just that people at Yahoo! don't like him. I have no idea if he's doing a good job or not, but these articles seeme to pick on one factor and focus in on it, as if it's the only thing.
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
