    Hey Duncan,

    Shouldn't you be linking back to paidContent for the CEO speculation, or did you hear this rumour first hand? Sorry, just trying to put the ZDNet article in perspective..

    fail call, but the source is already linked in the post...I got it direct from a Yahoo Media release (I have a corporate file for media releases/ company blogs in Greader). It's also not speculation, it's actually confirmed from Yahoo itself.

    Since writing it though it would appear that AllThingsD may have had it first, although I only read their stuff after I saw the media release (it broke while I was out buying lunch). I haven't seen it on PC yet, but the crediting on other sites from pre-media release seems to be towards AllThingsD on other sites. Congrats to them on having it, and I'd naturally link to them if they were my source (and we do link to them fairly regularly, not just because I think Kara is brilliant :-) )

    Yahoo! needs a new leader that will Disrupt and use White Space to chart a new course. Someone who will compete with Google and improve the web for all of us. Certainly not Microsoft - a new leader wtih the moxie to compete. Read more at http://www.thephoenixprinciple.com

    In a sign of how things are going at Yahoo, I'm betting his email to employees didn't make it past the Yahoo spam filter and now sits in everyone's junk mail folder along with ads for hair restoration creams.
