Yahoo Aims for Direction With Entertainment Division Shakeup
Thursday, September 27, 2007
Yahoo has announced that it will be "streamlining the structure" of its entertainment division in an effort to create a unified direction for its Santa Monica operations. This shakeup is primed to overhaul a number of Yahoo's entertainment offerings including its TV, music, games, OMG, and movies properties.
Although the issue was broached openly on the company blog by Vince Broady, Head of Entertainment and Video, the change in direction is rumored to be on the agenda for tomorrow's closed leadership meeting. But based on Broady's description of the restructure, it seems like the move will be less of a hack and slash job and more of a strategic regrouping for the previously scattered division

Yahoo tests new social network Mash
Tuesday, September 18, 2007
Yahoo is testing an experimental social network service called Mash, apparently designed to lure users away from rivals Facebook and MySpace.
Mash has already been dubbed “an homage to Facebook” – but with a difference: users of the new Yahoo site can edit each other’s profiles. “Think the Wikipedia version of a social network,” the New York Times said.
Executives at Yahoo, under immense pressure to rejuvenate the ailing internet giant, were more cagey. “Ongoing product innovation is important to Yahoo and we continue to test various products and services to gain feedback from our users,” a spokesman said.
