I can't answer for anyone else but I can say with pretty good confidence that Yahoo! would not exist today if they put me in charge. I would fling poop left and right the moment I discovered the back door. I wouldn't have gave two poops about shareholder value. I am sure "they" would have found something sketchy about my past life that is worthy of at least ten life sentences and I would be sent away for good. I was already a little skeptical by the time Y! bought tumblr but I think the effort was there. I saw bringing in Katie Couric and David Pogue as a way to ease older people to watching "live TV" on Y!. I still don't think there was any fault with the vision. It might just be that the execution was a few years too early or bit too ambitious? I mean getting younger audiences to watch the news is not easy and getting majority of the "old" people to go from lean back to lean forward isn't easy either. It feels like a gamble and I still believe it succeeded in a parallel universe. |
