Okay, copy and paste this one for future reference, it's my last fee lesson!
Where Google has become THE search engine, Wikipedia is the universal source of peer reviewed reference on everything. That's a given.
At times of heightened interest in a company, you'd expect the number of searches on the history and details of that company to rise. Indeed this is exactly what normally happens. Information is the most valuable tool in any situation.
But in Yahoo's case this hasn't happened - indicating that there isn't the level of interest in finding out the facts. It's also an indication of the level and quality of strategic thinking surrounding Yahoo.
The idea that smart people talk a lot and talk bull**** when they do is a common myth. In reality, smart people ask questions - lots of them. The best place to start is Wikipedia. It's just not happening here.
This is why I've been so derogatory about this whole deal. It's like watching two mangy old dogs in the street negotiating a conjugal congress... and the dog ultimately deciding the bitch is asking too high a price - and her thinking: he stinks!
But like all old dogs, you know they'll be back sniffing at each other again. But it still won't attract the thinkers. And those who don't think still won't be pulling the Wikipedia page up the rankings.
