Probably because he's used to type the name of his old company MicroSolutions.

#4I don't think that's a good idea. Yahoo has a problem that it's divisions seem to be too diverse and unintegrated. Buying even more will lead to a further lack of focus. Purchasing several web 2.0 apps will lead to a fragmentation in the attention span of the people managing these properties. You also need to allocate engineers to develop each item.
What Yahoo should do is own several large sites, and monetize them across a single integrated brand per site. For example, flickr and the Yahoo portal are two large brands.

I guess once you make enough money you can capitalize however you want. Like Jerry Yang sending all-lowercase emails.

Maybe it's an unconscious slip about his MicroSoft member.

Or it's intentional and he's commenting on how they've been too soft in the marketplace these last few years.

#8This is reaching at best. To quote Peter Lynch, I don't think "de-worsification" is a viable strategy for Yahoo.

Its original name was "Micro-Soft", IIRC. Maybe Mark has just been around long enough to remember when the capital "S" was correct. (In his defense, he does get the lower-case "b" right in "Facebook", which many people capitalize erroneously.)

#10oh jesus between allthingsD, valleywag, blodget and blogmaverick, they've saved yahoo twenty times in the last month in various blog posts. give it up folks, google won. but if its still an obsession, round up some of the thousands of former y's around the bay area and just build the company you keep blogging about building.
