As anyone who has covered the company for any length of time knows, Yahoo's record on major decision-making has been akin to a hippie commune - a lot of wrangling internally in a culture where everyone seems to have a voice and a reticence to push the button to launch.
From Kara Swisher
I love all my scoop children. But consistency and persistence is really my aim.
I am a big proponent of being in touch with everyone even when I do not have a story to ask about.
Most reporters are so transactional rather than strategic.
I don't think you can look at my history and say they love me to death in Silicon Valley.
I'm focused on getting to a place where we can prove that journalism can make good money on the web.
People are worried about what's going to happen to journalism - and they should be. Every day, the blogosphere is getting better and print media is getting worse; you have to be an idiot not to see that.
I don't write about Google except to insult the company.
It's the nature of journalism to need to be close to your subjects. And either you're able to be tough on them, which a lot of us are, or you get in bed with them, and some people do.
I don't have bad taste; I have no taste. I wear a lot of the things I wore in high school, but not the cowl-neck sweaters. I was never tall, and I am the same size, so I still wear a lot of those clothes.
