On network television, and from some New York, NY station
apparently, some IT media expert tried to go on the air yesterday, again, to
explain what a lousy company (and again, this happens periodically, and
typically a foreign or foreign influenced journalist gets on the air for such
things) Yahoo! is supposed to be. The
fellow went on and on about it and that “financial results” and so forth are
supposedly not up to it and that Marissa Mayer might not really be doing her
job. The same people used to hit on
Susan Decker when she was a Yahoo! corporate officer and the like. It just gets to be annoying and enough,
already, for the time being. Anyone who
knows about the web knows that Yahoo! is a great company, and they have
terrific stuff, they just are occasionally a little slow to listen to things
like rumors and gossip on a high level, and should not be disparaged for this
by “omniscient” television people.

This might be why Jerry Yang left the company some time ago,
and it’s because the company might lose a penny in earnings and then three or
more former soviet journalists (many are indeed IT ‘experts’) pop – up in the
media where they have been following Yahoo!, and possibly some related business
entities, through local Silicon Valley papers since the dark ages; they fly to NY
or San Francisco routinely with bad news in their briefs, and using either various
connections or bluster, they bully their way onto studio sets to hammer the
people they don’t really like: another
example of what viewers call “vibe” that’s actually hype (informally here, and
tongue – in – cheek, much of it.) This
kind of thing should stop and Ms. Mayer and her management team should be
allowed, and their staff and business partners, etc., should be allowed to
conduct business without the kind of hype and hammering they appear to be
taking and have taken in the media, and for obvious reasons. Please go elsewhere and maybe back to
Kazakhstan or something to complain about technology companies, former soviet
television journalists, and those so – influenced, for instance. In the meantime, Yahoo!, have a great
day. Additionally, Yahoo! is for young people as well, so old pessimists, and difficult people stay home. There are any number of reasons to express a favourable view here of this business, but this is not an endorsement either way, it's just a great internet company, great web services, ... . By the way, Yahoo! reports first, and sometimes they get to quite important things in the popular news first, the U.S. beat Turkey in a soccer match (again, yesterday?)
