The reactions among prominent Yahoo techies to Yahoo CFO Sue Decker’s comment that Yahoo Search would be content to retain its second-to-Google market share range from dubious claims of “out of context” quoting to a list of all the enhancements Yahoo is making in search. My interest in this is purely as an indication of competition for Microsoft’s MSN Search and frankly I’m not convinced that Yahoo has the will to play. It wouldn’t be the first time in the history of technology companies that financial folks surprised the techies. If Yahoo really wants to do some damage control, they need to trot out Sue Decker to merely say she misspoke, but that won’t completely fix it either, of course.

Yahoo appears to be giving up on its Financial
information service. Why would advertisers be
so ignorant as to post their advertising on
inoperable web pages? I wouldn’t want to be
in these advertisting executives shoes when
their CEO’s find out about this waste of their
advertising dollars. (Yahoo Finance)Historical Prices)
