Carol Bartz interviewed by NDTV speaks on The Transformation of Yahoo!
From Fortune :
Former Yahoo exec turned Aol Consumer Apps President Brad Garlinghouse answers questions about the merger talks, the ‘Peanut Butter Manifesto,’ and why he thinks Yahoo is still doing it wrong.
This is probably the longest interview you’ll ever read about Yahoo’s CEO Carol Bartz. Really nice reading.
From USA Today :
Bartz, 62, has spent much of her time cutting costs, and deals, as she tried to sharpen Yahoo’s focus on services that appeal to advertisers. For example, last year she agreed to let Microsoft’s Bing power Yahoo’s search engine. And this year Yahoo bought Associated Content, which assigns news stories to freelancers based on data about subjects that interest Web users.
It’s been a long journey from the farms of Minnesota and Wisconsin, where the tart-tongued executive was born and raised, to Yahoo, which is expected to generate $6.5 billion in revenue this year.
Bartz shared her views about Yahoo, prospects for the Internet and the economy with USA TODAY’s David Lieberman at the 12th USA TODAY CEO Forum on Sept. 29 at Georgia State University.

One of the most popular services of the Yahoo! network certainly is Yahoo! Mail. That’s why I opened the Yahoo! Mail Group, a place where users can published their feedbacks and share tips and tricks with other users. During a Yahoo! event in London I had the occasion to interview David McDowell, Director of EU Communications Products and Gregory Talon, Product Manager for Yahoo! Mail in Europe. Can we hope of free IMAP one day ?
As Yahoo! launched their new homepage in Europe last week, I had the opportunity to ask few questions to Rich Riley, head of Yahoo! Europe and Tapan Bhat, Senior Vice-president of Integrated Consumer Experience. I could have asked them thousands of questions but hey, I was not the only one over there :) (too bad!). So Microsoft’s new search engine, Bing, it is said, is gaining search market at the expense of Yahoo!. But the Sunnyvale company is holding strong and clearly shows no fear.
