I'd really love to help Yahoo regain its footing in the market and become a player again. It's just a Google world. It's a Yahoo experience as well.<BR/><BR/>http://is.gd/82O7 is a page I set up for people to see at least someone actually wants the job.<BR/><BR/>Appreciate your thoughts. There's an email address there.<BR/><BR/>Best regards,<BR/><BR/>MichaelMichael Murdockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02353426125017634305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31847753.post-26254461070025138122007-06-11T18:45:00.000-04:002007-06-11T18:45:00.000-04:00Thanks Michael and Nien.Thanks Michael and Nien.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08966031961479291676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31847753.post-18793327570369766322007-06-11T13:37:00.000-04:002007-06-11T13:37:00.000-04:00Eric,So you're going to confront Semel at the shar...Eric,<BR/><BR/>So you're going to confront Semel at the shareholder's meeting, who do you have in the chute waiting to take over as CEO? Who can generate the right kind of press to avoid a sell off of stock and a weakening of your positions in the company any further?<BR/><BR/>Perhaps some new, younger blood in the mix might help to turn things around. If that's the case, get someone who's been in the industry for a long time (25+ years) and who has a flair for the absurd and loves to churn things up. Yahoo has to get excited about itself again. It's lost on innovation and floundering sort of like Apple was when I worked for Steve Jobs at PIXAR.<BR/><BR/>It needs someone who wants to see it succeed and give google a way to balance itself in this marketplace. Google is akin to Microsoft in a way. In computers it's OSX or Windows. In Search it's either Yahoo or Google.<BR/><BR/>So Yahoo can be Apple to Googles Microsoft...Or...Yahoo can get off it's a** and turn Google into Apple and Yahoo into Microsoft and rule 90% of the search market the way that it used to...circa 2000 or so and the stock was trading at 477.00 a share. In today's dollars that would mean a substantially larger number as I am sure you'd agree.<BR/><BR/>So it's nice to read all the things that people are doing wrong, but nobody's talking about the plan to correct the course and change the way things are. That's what I'd like to see.<BR/><BR/>There are those of us who'd love a shot a doing the CEO thing for Yahoo at a substantially reduced price from what they've been paying the previous CEOs. It can never be all about the money, which it is with most corporate executives. It's got to be about the company, the people, the mission and how to achieve a level of success that is derived from providing a valuable service to clients (not customers).<BR/><BR/>I wish you the best with this. As always I'd love to stir the pot with my hat in there as I did in 1996/1997 with Steve Jobs for Apple, but there does not seem to be anyone who wants to leap that far to get me interested.<BR/><BR/>For the moment...<BR/><BR/>Michael Murdock, CEO<BR/>DocMurdock.com<BR/>(former Apple CEO Candidate 1997 and former PIXAR Macintosh Systems Engineer)Michael Murdockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02353426125017634305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31847753.post-66908726495948173952007-06-11T09:07:00.000-04:002007-06-11T09:07:00.000-04:00I'm not a stockholder but I wish you the best of l...I'm not a stockholder but I wish you the best of luck. I've had persistent support difficulties with YahooGroups over the last 16 months. One of my groups is off line more than it's on and tech support refuses to even answer. I've moved all the groups I can to other services. I'm not alone either, there are many other group owners with the same story and like me they are now spending their online shopping dollars on other sites.nienna nirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10394732386862017270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31847753.post-91696200926348503812007-06-11T06:32:00.000-04:002007-06-11T06:32:00.000-04:00Thanks, Harvey.
