I know that I just started Shameless Self-Promotion Week yesterday but I need to briefly interrupt SSPW to comment on today's huge news. As I am sure all of you know by now, Terry Semel has stepped down as Yahoo's Chief Executive Officer and Jerry Yang has taken his place. What many of you may not know is that Jerry and I have been friends for two decades. Jerry and I were dorm mates at Stanford our freshman year and have been friends since. So I think that it is perfectly fair to assume that I am completely biased when it comes to Jerry and to Yahoo. That said, I am thrilled to hear that Jerry has taken the reigns at Yahoo.
Jerry Yang is one of the smartest guys you'll ever have the good fortune to meet. He is also one of the most ethical and decent executives out there. But, more important still, Jerry is profoundly motivated and motivational. He has the capacity to reenergize the company that he started twelve years ago and helped grow into the leading new media property on the web. At a time when it is very much in vogue to dump on Yahoo, I remain extremely bullish on the future of the company.
Congratulations Jerry! I look forward to seeing the great stuff you do with Yahoo in the coming weeks and months.
Especially if they advertise it on television, then you will get a better visual picture about what it entails as well as a better explanation.

The economy weak and the public seething, President Barack Obama is expected to propose $300 billion in tax cuts and federal spending Thursday night to get Americans working again. Republicans offered Tuesday to compromise with him on jobs — but also assailed his plans in advance of his prime-time speech.In effect, Obama will be hitting cleanup on a shortened holiday week, with Republican White House contender Mitt Romney releasing his jobs proposals on Tuesday and front-running Texas Gov. Rick Perry hoping to join his presidential rivals Wednesday evening on a nationally televised debate stage for the first time.

Its like you read my mind! You appear to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with some pics to drive the message home a little bit, but other than that, this is great blog. A great read. I will certainly be back.
