Interesting indeed. There’s always the outside chance that Jerry Yang might actually READ this blog, I suppose… But I have a feeling you’re right about the mired and entrenched thinking so typical of older organs such as Yahoo: Like the U.S. Automakers (get used to my mentioning them, folks - they’re just so perfect at exemplifying the headlong rush toward extinction), the Lords of Yahoo are probably too enamored of their own take on ‘how things should be’ to actually perceive how things really ARE. Citizen Murdoch DOES bring one very powerful new option to the table at Yahoo that wasn’t there before - the opportunity to REALLY clean house and turn Yahoo into a bona-fide moneymaker. Jerry is just too caught up in preserving the legacy of Yahoo… Rupert will approach the situation with a nuclear Dyson vacuum cleaner…

Jeff, I’ve got a completely different take on what’s going on here that I plan to post on my site, thefutureofnews.com late tonight. I think Murdoch’s got much, much bigger and more daring plans than making a bundle on MySpace and getting part ownership of a widget company. For now, here are some things to consider: 1) Yahoo is the #1 most visited news web site; 2) The core business of Murdoch’s News Corporation is news; and 3) Were it not for Yahoo News, AP-generated news would be nowhere among the top 10 most visited web sites.

Yahoo Sports competes with Fox Sports on the web, funny not one of these armchair ceo’s knows the score.
