How not to save Yahoo!
I have a running battle with Yahoo! in terms of their “foreign markets policies”, but not with their core design and tech teams. I think then, the news that comes to me via Information Aesthetics that they’ve shut down their entire design innovation team is utter lunacy.
Yahoo! is struggling to keep up. Innovation and creativity is how you leap-frog and out-Google Google. It would seem they’re no longer that keen on doing that.
As such I have to say if you’re holding onto Yahoo! stock, consider selling: I think this is the first step to them going bust about four or five years from now. They’d best just hope that Microsoft still want them.
