It looks as if Yahoo's new CEO Carol Bartz is set to announce a major overhaul of Yahoo's top managment as early as Wednesday of next week.The overhaul is looking to
turn around the troubled Internet company, and to roll back reorganizational changes made by former CEO Jerry Yang and President Sue Decker.The changes may include a revamped "C-level" management team with a chief operating officer, chief technical officer and a new, more powerful chief marketing officer.

Yahoo's online storage space will be closing it's doors on March 30th.
Users of the free service, which lets people upload files as big as 5MB and organize them in folders, are being greeted by a message that says they have to download or delete their files by March 30. After that, the accounts will be closed and files deleted.
Other services, such as Yahoo Mail and Flickr, offer far greater storage capacity, and the use of Briefcase has fallen in recent years, the company said. The move will help it to focus on services that are more widely used, according to Yahoo.
It appears that Yahoo has appointed Carol Bartz as the new ceo of yahooBartz was pretty much already running the company since Jerry Yang stepped down so we will have to see if she now takes yahoo in a new direction.
According to chairman Roy Bostock Bartz was the only person offered the job.
So do you have any input on the choice of Bartz for the new job.Myself I think they made the right choice by placing someone from within that already knows just what is going on at yahoo.
Jerry Yang will be stepping down as CEO of yahoo. He will remain on the board of directors,and return to his former position as cheif yahoo.
Who will be the next CEO? Jeff Mallet or Dan Rosensweig are possible candidates. Mallet wouldn’t consider the job, say inside sources. But Rosensweig would probably take it if offered.
Do you think yahoo stock will rise with this announcment?

Yahoo has begun offering some users a more personalized home page that the company hopes will increase the usage and utility of a Web site that's widely used but elderly in Internet years.
The new home page features a dashboard on the left edge that reports activity with a variety of applications. For example, it can be set so users see e-mail from Yahoo Mail, AOL, and Gmail, and other applications notify users of comment on photos posted at Flickr, events on the calendar, and bids active on eBay.

This morning at the Intel Developer Forum, Intel and Yahoo announced a joint initiative to bring Internet widgets to TV. The two companies are teaming up in an effort they believe may help jump-start the nascent living-room-web market, which up to this point has seen a lot of products, but very little consumer adoption.
Perhaps the most interesting part of the announcement is the insistence by both companies that OEMs who sign up to put the widget channel (Intel’s name for the product) on their box must offer the consumer access to all of the widgets in the gallery. The gallery, which will be managed by Yahoo, will offer services by any company that uses the widget platform. Conceptually, it’s hard to get one’s mind around the concept of having a service provider set-top box that offers a whole host of widgets to stream third-party web services, but conceivably that’s a scenario that could be realized.

Billionaire investor Carl Icahn is planning to wage a proxy fight against Yahoo, in a move that could ultimately kick out Yahoo's entire board, according to a Reuters report Wednesday.
Here's a number to chew on as Yahoo finishes out its earnings week and faces a Saturday deadline to formally negotiate a merger with Microsoft: 6 percent.
That's how far its shares have fallen since it reported its better-than-expected earnings after the markets closed on Tuesday. Compare that with the Dow and the Nasdaq, which both ended up slightly higher during the same period.
Yahoo has announced that it will begin to use google advertisments on some of its search pages.
"Yahoo will be testing Google's AdSense for Search service, which will deliver relevant ads alongside Yahoo's own natural search results. This is only a limited test, and does not necessarily mean that Yahoo will join the AdSense program," Google spokesman Daniel Rubin said.

The New York Times is reporting that Yahoo intends to join OpenSocial a google lead alliance.
Yahoo’s backing, which could be announced as early as this week, would bring a large base of users to the OpenSocial alliance, which is seen as a counterweight to Facebook’s successful courtship of application developers. The alliance, which was announced in the fall, already includes MySpace, Bebo and several other social networking sites.
The Internet company on Tuesday unveiled a new bookmarking tool for cell phones that lets people keep track of favorite Web content--news feeds, search results, Web sites--from one place on their handheld. The technology, called Yahoo OnePlace, will be available in the second quarter of 2008, according to Yahoo.
