Fortune Magazine has a great story about Yahoo! CEO Carol Bartz... check it out!

Yahoo's taskmaster

Carol Bartz is shrewd, strong-minded, blunt, and disciplined. (Don't even think
about leaking company information!) But can this no-nonsense tech veteran come
up with a plan to save Yahoo?

All purple & Yahoo lovers out there, have a look at HypedWorld.com and
their article "Yahoo! Wins Big".

It has a nice overview of Yahoo!’s spectacular and unexpected recent
wins and explains why the economic downturn can help the plagued company.

Hi everyone,

It's been a while - had a FAB trip to Hawaii - so i thought i'd list a
few things Yahoo! has been improving recently.

1. Off course, the great new Yahoo! mail offering: 100MB of storage
free at: http://mail.yahoo.com.  Yahoo! mail is the best service
according to CNET.com.

2. Also not that recent, but worth mentioning: the all new and
improved Yahoo! Messenger. I've been using it for quite some time and
it's fab especially the Yahoo! Launch musicplayer is a nice feat.

3. Yahoo! is testing a some changes to it's frontpage (as posted
previously) AND to its search pages.

4. Yahoo!'s gadget store: http://gear.yahoo.com will be relaunched
shortly. Curious to see what the new look store & gadgets will be!

5. Yahoo! also launched the life-engine promotion a few weeks back.
Some of the tv ads are quite funny. you can watch the ads and view the
online promotional part at: http://promotions.yahoo.com/life-engine/
Yahoo is currently casting for their new personals ads, you can

html?tag=nefd.pop#

Yahoo has begun quietly testing a makeover of its home page, as
evidenced by trial mock-ups seen by some Web users over the past few
weeks when they accessed the portal.

Finally including their entertainment offerings like Yahoo!

Hi all,

Yahoo! Freaks certainly isn't into spamming and sending inapropriate
material to its members. The abusive material has been removed from
the archive and from now on all new member posts will be moderated.
This does limit new members somehow but hopefully this will solve
the spam problem.

In the meantime feel free to discuss appropriate Yahoo! & internet
related topics on this list.

Friendly regards,
Tom

We appreciate your business!

All I can say is splendid!! Yahoo! has just bought one of the UK's
most popular music site dotmusic.com AND gamesdomain.co.uk. The
acquisition also gives Yahoo! an edge in music downloads as dotmusic
is a known player in that field too. Though honestly I'd rather see
Yahoo! teaming up with Itunes... but that's another story.

Hmmm...not really, runs a smooth as ever. Experiencing problems?

with your yahoo!mail.

It seems Yahoo! is serious about their Auctions once again. A new user
survey is up at:
http://surveys.yahoo.com/auctions_survey/ud/body_3.html

Surely with the inktomi/overture knowhow and Yahoo!'s enormous network
Yahoo! Auctions can prosper once again...?

You can find the beta version of the new Y! shopping at:
http://four.shopping.yahoo.com/

Well, it's an exciting Yahoo! World we live in today isn't? With all
those acquisitions.

Have a look at all those search companies & tools Yahoo! has
acquired. Have you got any favorites?

- http://search.yahoo.com/
- http://www.altavista.com
- http://www.alltheweb.com
- http://www.inktomi.com
- http://www.overture.com

LOTS of search tools & great search destinations. How on earth is
Yahoo! gonna combine them? I hope it won't just be redirecting the
URL's to yahoo.com and a few mechanical twitches...

Yahoo Closes Australian Auction Site
By Ina Steiner
AuctionBytes.com
August 07, 2003

Members of Yahoo's Australian auction site SOLD.com.au received word
that the site is shutting down on August 20. The announcement
directed
users to eBay.com.au. Current auctions will continue to run, but SOLD
stopped accepting the submission of new auction items. Members will
be
able to use their IDs for all other Yahoo services, such as Mail and
Shopping. No reason was given for the closure.

Yahoo had purchased SOLD.com.au from F2, the online interactive
network
of John Fairfax Holdings, in April 2001. Later that year, eBay
Australia took over auction site goFish from News Ltd.

In related news, sources say eBay is consolidating customer service
into three locations worldwide: Germany; Vancouver, Canada; and a
planned
site near Dublin, Ireland; leading to layoffs in some global offices,
including Australia.

An interesting take on Yahoo! News and its recent innovations. Will
the public take notice?

A Closer Look at Yahoo! News
http://searchenginewatch.com/searchday/article.php/2239521

Things seem to be moving for something big at Yahoo! shopping, but in
the meantime auctioneers can enjoy a free listing da TODAY:
http://auctions.shopping.yahoo.com/

Well, again I like what I see at Yahoo!. Things are moving again...

First the several Yahoo! search innovations & acquisitions (Inktomi,
Overture)...

And there are even more big things coming along. If you're lucky you
might find some hints in the surveys Yahoo! is currently conducting.
Some of them got a Nondisclosure agreement which for a Yahoo! survey
is a first, if i'm not mistaken?

Well, good news I guess. Predicted ages ago by many and although, I
think this is the easy way - why not - Semmel wouldn't say no to easy
cash and why should he?

I'm hoping for some more Yahoo! action - but the combined powers of
Yahoo! - Inktomi & overture... looks enormously impressive!

And a detail I think many won't pay much attention too, Overture
bought ALLTHEWEB - a very good Googlelike search engine some
predicted could overthrow the search king & Altavista. Though
Altavista may not be the biggest search power on the net, still quite
popular in Europe. This might mean Yahoo! will take over Altavista in
the countries Yahoo! hasn't launched its properties yet and rebrand
them into the Yahoo! international network and finally become a
player in the smaller European markets too. MSN is profiting too much
of their first mover advantage right now!

Here are some hot Yahoo! rumours... anyone else picked up something
interesting ?

"Yahoo was rumored to be interested in buying E-Spotting, the leading
paid-search company in Europe, which boasts of having $100 million in
annual sales."

"Google could buy Moreover, a Reuters-funded news-gathering site that
competes with Google News, Goodman speculated. "Moreover is going to
sign a deal with Yahoo to make Yahoo's news a little better," said
Goodman, suggesting that Google might do the deal just to take it
away from Yahoo."

"Apple Computer Inc.'s (NasdaqNM:AAPL - News) popular online music
service has media and technology companies such as Microsoft Corp.
(NasdaqNM:MSFT - News) and Yahoo Inc. (NasdaqNM:YHOO - News) looking
into their own competing versions, the Los Angeles Times reported,
citing unnamed sources and company officials."

Hi all,

You can have a look at the new beta here:
http://beta.finance.yahoo.com/q?s=yhoo&d=v1

What's your opinion improvement or not?

It's been a while so Yahoo! has just announced a new FLD... hope
they'll promote it well.

"05/12/03 Free Listing Day is this Wednesday, May 14
Yahoo! Auctions is pleased to announce a free listing day this
Wednesday, May 14. All auctions submitted between 12:01am PDT and
11:59pm PDT on Wednesday will not be subject to listing fees (other
fees still apply)."

Hi all,

The quotes in the previous post came from following article:
Yahoo Plays With Search And Syntax
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A1192-2003Apr9.html

Also correction, the date mentioned should off course read tuesday
april 8, 2003.

You can still vote in our poll "The New Y! Search: Market share
winner or not?" at:
