What if instead of suing Facebook, Yahoo proposed to Facebook a greater partnership and deeper integration of its products with the social layer?

What if Yahoo Mail and Yahoo News now had an advanced social layer that managed contacts autonomously (like GMail) and becomes official curator of news on a social level? (Not like, here's a lot of news, and then a commentary section. I'm talking a brief abstract with link of rest of article and just a ton of commentary)

That would actually make me consider leaving GMail (Really). And for once I would give a dang about the things being posted in my feed, rather than filtering out the majority of my contacts and likes.

What do you think is going on in the minds of its current employees?

Do you think employees are making plans for an exodus?

Also, as I recall, wasn't there a senior exec that left recently upon Thompson's new appointment as CEO. Perhaps he saw this coming and thought similarly?

Definitely a sign of desperation. I imagine, stale board room meetings, lackluster performance in product development and an anxious board. Scott Thompson took this for a red flag and called it for what it is, a sinking ship.

Except this lacks in both grace and providing the company with any innovative, competitive, long term solutions, and definitely sets it in a bad light. I don't see any benefit to doing this.

tl;dr

Yahoo is a social network. Facebook did not get there first.

So an interviewer asked dumb questions, and sometimes they get my orders wrong at McDonalds. NEXT.

Loved it.

Incredible to watch. Offered a rich perspective into your design process. Demonstrated to me unique use cases of Photoshop. Documented change in vision and approach. Showed me how to do simple things I never thought to try.

Made me feel at the end that with enough work, vision, and the creativity to evolve, I too can create something beautiful.
