In the News Steve Ballmer said at an economic forum in Sydney today that any new Yahoo deal was totally of the cards, despite Yahoo's share price being less than half Microsoft's initial offer. At same time, Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang said that "I believe the best thing for Microsoft to do is to buy Yahoo." Google pulled out of its deal with Yahoo! earlier this week.

Yahoo is a mess

Worst place i ever worked at.

After the stellar stock price in 2000 plus several splits, many orginal employees left (retired) by 2001.

With so many new people on board there isnt any direction in the company. The place is full of
egos and politics. Not a great place to be.

Microsoft at least has some discipline and direction
in their business model. They can also provide better
technology since yahoo at its core is no more than
an internet portal.
