David Pennock’s “fearless leader” did a bad, bad thing, today: She handed out Yahoo! Search to MicroSoft. The best analysis is from Jason Calacanis.

Yahoo! stock is down 12%.

Women.

    Calacanis uses the word “innovation” in the empty meaningless way. Rather than “innovation wins”, he might as well have said “winning wins”. His commentary would have been just as useful.

    Yahoo! is and will still be innovating in many areas. We all agree search is important but there will be a lot more too it than “10 blue links” in the future.
