What seemed to be a done deal, with grief over Yahoo!'s passing as a free and independent company, now has turned into a circus. The offer of $31 per share in combined cash and own shares that Microsoft laid on the table is now almost worthless, because Yahoo!'s stock has risen so much that owners would be ... |

The soap opera that studs Microsoft and Google have had a part in, for winning fair maiden Yahoo!'s heart, is shooting its final episodes today.

It's actually a wonder people not in the loop have heard of it. The beta launch was announced just briefly, in a post on Yahoo!'s Technology Development Group's head, Bradley Horowitz's blog that had… three words: 'Live is live,' he said, and nothing more. For those waiting for it, the n... |

Amid great turmoil, Yahoo! is looking back to where it did manage to impose its presence on the market and is trying to feed off of that in order to keep going. It's the corporate version of people looking back at what they have accomplished and deciding that if they were able to do that, they could overcome the... |

Working at Yahoo! right now can't be all that exciting, or if it is, it's not in a good way. All the pressure of not being able to do anything about the current situation, declining income, value and all, must be getting to the employees, so Jerry Yang decided to fill them in with what's going on.The e... |

The attempt to create a viable competitor for Google that Microsoft initiated with its $31 per share offer on Friday had everybody very excited over the weekend. Many say that the length of time until something is announced is like in court: if it's a fast jury ruling, it's in favor of the accusing side. Fo... |

Terry Semel joined Yahoo! after having built a reputation as a successful executive with Warner Bros. and Walt Disney Co. He was the one the Sunnyvale-based company turned to when times got rough and he managed to pull through. Now, it looks like he is parting ways with the Internet company for good. He formerly resi... |

Yahoo! will be forced into making a big decision this year, whether it is to continue with investing into advertising or drop it altogether and look somewhere else for cash flow. That's what analysts say, but they add that another viable option for the Sunnyvale based company is to sell to Microsoft, which had b... |

A while back, Yahoo! decided that it had been receiving too many complaints about people duplicating the login page to their mail service in order to steal their accounts. The one simple solution that the team saw fit to put in place was to allow its users to create something like a seal that would authenticate the o... |

After the eighth straight quarter of declining profit, Yahoo!'s future definitely looks dark and cloudy. And what a drop in net income it was, really. Analysts, questioned by Bloomberg, have come together with a number and it was a scary one: almost 43 percent a decrease. In dollars, that means only 155.8 millio... |

The Sunnyvale-based company has recently invested a great deal in its advertising platform, hoping that it would turn the slope it has been on for two years now into a slight increase which would hold promise for the future. That hasn't been the case, though, and its income has suffered a major blow, on a 42 per... |

Talks have been held in the direction of allowing Yahoo! to offer DRM-free music for free or in exchange for a small fee, as a part of a service that's self-supporting. Although in the early stages, the discussions were pretty straightforward about what the Sunnyvale-based company wanted, a couple of record comp... |

Long have I complained about the fact that the Yahoo! Messenger team did nothing whatsoever to improve their products and instead preferred to bring up front the older features that they thought people weren't using. And up until today they've never failed with the disappointment, they were like clockwork.T... |

The date it will all go down, unless a miracle happens and the Yahoo! stock grows overnight to a beautiful sum, is January 29th. The rumors have been first heard in mid-December 2007, when AOL was forced to cut its numbers in a similar way because of low performance by its team.The Silicon Alley Insider was tipped of... |

Yahoo! is trying to go for the gold in the music sector, at least in the last period. It's been making statements on the matter, it even released the code for a Java-free web based MP3 player that searches for tunes on the page it is located. Now, it looks like it is trying to buy the Israeli-based FoxyTunes.As ... |

Yahoo!'s photo sharing service has had this one in the brewing for a while now and the magnitude of the whole thing is yet to be seen.

Yahoo! is making a forceful push in the domain of mobile Internet advertising after having lost the similar battle with Google over the regular ads served next to web search. The rate at which it is adding partners (and has been doing that for quite a while now) is clearly making it one of the most serious competitor... |

Knowing all too well what Yahoo does "for a living", it was a bit surprising to hear that it also provides food to people. After the initial confusion running through my mind I took a better look at the spelling and that cleared it up: not Yahoo! the famous Internet-based company does the cooking, but Ya-Hoo!, the Sh... |

The rumor that Microsoft might be taking over Yahoo has been spun round the rumor mill for far too long now and far too many times it has failed to produce an official statement or a pertinent opinion from somebody in the game. This finally happened as Bernstein Research analyst Jeffrey Lindsay shed some light on the... |

Yahoo! is trying to get the users behind it and build up from the existing products that they already know as being hits on the Internet. This time, it's their mail service that takes us for a ride and provides the reason to let that imagination spark, or functionality need be the winner.The contest that Ryan K.... |

The recent acquisition that Kayak made of Sidestep, valued at 200 million dollars, forced Yahoo! Travel to step up its game and stop lingering about. The first move they made was to drag the FareChase tab from the shelving and put it front and center on their page. It shows the default search engine for pricing fligh... |

I'm almost at my wit's end with the Yahoo IM team, they just keep mentioning their old features instead of coming up with new ones, and I can't stand it anymore! Soundtrack is supposed to be a "hidden" feature, but if it was that at one point, the ones who hid it didn't do a very good job, I knew ... |

The way Yahoo! has decided to go about its tech news has raised enough controversy in the ranks of those interested in the segment. It has attempted this type of format, a channel with hosts to focus on financial news before and it didn't prove back then to be the winning move, why would it now? It's suppos... |

The signs that something big was cooking with Yahoo when it came to music were not all over the place, but they were noticeable at any rate and, while reading a blog from Ian Rogers on the matter, I came across something mighty peculiar in the bottom left corner of the page: a grey rectangle with a green circle winki... |

The announcement that Yahoo! and Adobe would be teaming up to test out a new ad system inside PDF documents was vastly looked over back in November when it was announced. Not because it did not have potential, but rather because it was just another way of feeding ads to the Internet users and that's what they ha... |

Jerry Yang came to the helm of Yahoo with a clear idea of what he should accomplish and the time he has for the job. He never kept it a secret, he wanted to turn Yahoo! into the starting point for web surfers everywhere, the portal of choice for everyone, no matter if young or old. His plan slowly began unfolding, fi... |
