Redemption: Yahoo! Style

Can this be it? I think so. Terry Semel is out as CEO and Jerry Yang, Yahoo!’s co-founder is back in. This is great news. Semel was behind every stupid move Yahoo! has made, including the investment of a billion dollars into Alibaba. How has that worked out for them. Not too good.

Read up on my post back in January how Yahoo! Screwed Itself largely in part because of Semel. Another good move was naming Susan Decker as president. I have met Susan and she is brilliant. I like this move. I just may buy Yahoo! stock again. Their stock is up 8% which is a nice move for Yahoo!.

From my association with Decker and what I know about Yang, this could be a revolution of sorts and a bringing back of the Yahoo! Directory back into the search results. I hope so, that would be the injection that Yahoo! needs in the search market.
