That's Paul Kedrosky, and he is incensed by this letter from Jerry Yang to Steve Ballmer. Purportedly
a calm and rational letter laying out why Yahoo continues to reject Microsoft's acquisition-related entreaties, it is mischievous and irritating. The note is replete with cute stuff and
homespun dealmaking ditziness, all running over top of that Yang-ian "i love lower-case" faux familiarity. ... The sooner Yang stops trying to be a kinder, gentler CEO, and ...

Jerry Yang is stepping down as Yahoo's CEO. He assumed that role on June 18, 2007, and this is his
stock price legacy ... The big spike at the beginning ... UPDATE: Yahoo's stock jumped up today, responding favorably to the news of Yang's
departure. He has been portrayed as the stumbling block in negotiations with Microsoft, and it appears the market is expecting some sort of move now that Yang is gone. Unfortunately for Yahoo's shareholders, that move, if it comes, will not come close to Microsoft ...

So Jerry Yang is leaving his CEO role at Yahoo, staying as a board member and "Chief Yahoo."

For a long time, I've used Jerry Yang and David Filo as the models of smart Internet founders. What
impressed me so much about these guys is that they had the confidence to push forward with their idea, despite the many naysayers who said it couldn't be done. But more importantly,
they also had the smarts to know when to let go of the reins. Once Yahoo started to become a "real" company, they

To: Jerry Yang From: Jack Flack Subject: Stick and Move After what you've been through this year, I'm
guessing almost everyone you talk with these days is either purely hostile or purely sycophantic. Even though you've rejected my advice not just once, but twice, I'll take one last shot
at offering you [...]

Updated 10:00 a.m. Jerry Yang isn't formally stepping down as Yahoo's chief executive until a
successor is found, but Wall Street is already throwing him a going-away party - to the tune of $2.3 billion. That's how much Yahoo's market value increased in pre-market trading
Tuesday morning, as investors reacted to the previous night's news that Mr. [...]

Dear Jerry and Steve,I'm writing on behalf of the tens of thousands of people who make their living as search engine marketing professionals.
The potential of a Microsoft acquisition of Yahoo would no doubt have a major impact on my life and so many others' and I want to give you a few ideas on how you should move forward

While the ongoing back-and-forth between Yahoo and Microsoft is the talk of Herb Allen's annual mogul retreat in Sun Valley, Yahoo chief Jerry

Microsoft during the week, he replied simply, "I [...]
