Yahoo’s Reorg Leaves Lloyd Braun Out in the ColdDec 08 2006 | Yahoo! |
Hello, Yahoo reorganization, goodbye Lloyd Braun! Due to a strategic conflict within the company, Braun has been ousted by the company.
When he was originally hired, partially due to his successes at Disney’s ABC Entertainment Television Group and tremendous popular series, “Lost,” the company was speculated to become a lead television player.
However, his hiring preceded the competition presented by MySpace and YouTube within the last year, and the sales of full-length television shows over Apple iTunes. In an earlier interview, Braun said that he was not able to agree with senior management in terms of thinking about content versus technology.
And so they canned him.
Does this mean that Yahoo, who was victorious last week when Google Answers shut down, is surrendering this war to Google and shifting its focus on more promising endeavors?

And Google, and Pubcon, and just about everything else that’s truly newsworthy.
Yahoo is in the spotlight with its reorganization. People are speculating what’s next.
But if perhaps your referral URL was http://www.10e20.com/category/yahoo/ then yes, you actually came from a Yahoo-centric category.

Hey newreader -
It certainly does seem like there is a lot of coverage of Yahoo! lately but they have been pretty busy (both good and bad for them).
We try to cover the most relevant topics to search and not just focus on one particular company.
Thanks for the feedback!
