Yahoo CEO has resigned

[jian]

Jerry Yang has resigned from his position as Yahoo CEO. Now yahoo share holders will be very happy because Yang opposed Microsoft take over plans.
Share holders want to sell but yang wants to get 47$ share.
will Microsoft make another bid for yahoo?

That's definitely a positive sign in Microsoft 's side. I wonder why he resigned? outnumbered?its like him against the world up there at yahoo i guess.

I think this thread should be on the marketing forums under SEO forums to be exact.

Yang will stay on Yahoo unlike Suchter who recently resigned and joined Microsoft.

Suchter is the former Yahoo! search executive, no wonder Microsoft doesn't show any interest of buying Yahoo! anymore even Yang begged already about it. Just imagine having someone who knows the Yahoo search engine core working under Microsoft.

Microsoft Confirms Yahoo Hire

"We are very pleased to confirm that Sean Suchter will be joining Microsoft as the GM of our Silicon Valley Search Technology Center, working on Live Search," Microsoft search head Satya Nadella said in a statement. Suchter, who starts work December 22, will report to Harry Shum, corporate vice president of Search Product Development.
