Ah yes. Dialpad. The company Garlinghouse took to bankruptcy and was fired from? I guess f*cking up a company does get you a job at Yahoo!

And the Dialpad technology was certainly integrated into Messenger - the crap voice quality and poor reliability of Yahoo! Voice are ample proof of that...

I highly, highly doubt he needed anyone to "get" him the job, his degree and his startup did it just fine. Brad joined Yahoo at the same time as a whole slew of other Harvard business school grads. He continued to hire a bunch more himself. Yahoo Messenger also fully integrated the technology his startup created (dialpad).

Meg's team runs the blog. A writer's gotta grab blog content from they you can, right?

The blog is called Yodel Anecdotal which kinda rhymes, not Yahoo Anecdotal, which doesn't.

judging by the moron who let Penelope Trunk go, Yahoo is bereft of intelligence, indeed.

I also hear Mr. Garlinghouse is not the leader his email would make him out to be. So maybe he's stuck there because it's the best *he* can do too.

Perhaps what this whole thing is then, codependence?
