I really love this new Ning The Merciless photoshop job that's being used for all the marca articles. It's pure genius.

"Careerist" seems like the wrong term. In Japan they're called salarymen (sararimen).

Has anyone else noticed more and more functional problems on Yahoo sites since the buyout storm started?

The infestation of careerists (which started in earnest in 1999) is the main reason Y! has floundered for the last 7 or 8 years.

I kinda like Marc as the new Valleywag bad guy. His blog reeks of privilege and comments like "the target company's employees would bail and the target company's business would collapse" are completely self serving. Yes Marc, once you left Netscape it had some problems. But then again, you can only rip off so many good ideas (the standard marca business plan). If Ning is something more than a glorified BBS somebody please let me know.
