Semel Blogs

On the Yahoo blog, Yodel Anecdotal (nice name), Semel posts some thoughts on the changes at Yahoo (I love that comments are open, are you listening, Google?). It seems clear to me, though I have no particular insights here, that Dan Rosensweig left because he did not like the idea of running the Audience group, which seems an equal to the new Advertising group run by Sue Decker. What I wonder is whether this new approach will work – will whoever runs the Audience group have the freedom to truly create great products? Or will it be subservient to Advertising’s demands? This is the great, central conflict of all Packaged Goods Media companies. Stay tuned, as they used to say.
