Yahoo Stabs Facebook In The Back

Re: Yahoo Stabs Facebook In The Back
#2I am amazed that Yahoo is resorting to patent trolling tactics. Almost everyone in the Valley hates software patents, and only builds patent portfolios defensively, but they don't expect to have to defend themselves against each other. It seems very un-Silicon Valley of Yahoo to do this.
I think their brand will take a hit in the Valley. It's not the freshest and shiniest brand anyway, but still there is a long way down for it to go, and I think this will send it down some notches.

#3Yahoo's new management in action. They must be really desperate.
Yahoo refuses to innovate their way out of ten years of stagnation, despite the opportunities. So they're going for the fast profits. In reality, this kind of thing will destroy whatever relationships Yahoo has, isolate them, and make their situation worse.
Facebook was no threat to Yahoo, and they could have benefited eachother long term. Instead, Yahoo just got unfriended.

New management? They did the same thing to Google pre-IPO. As far as I'm concerned this Yahoo's modus operandi.

#6At least die decently Yahoo. No need to have patent troll written all over your headstone.

#7This is very sad. I worked at Yahoo until a few weeks ago; I have great respect for what Yahoo can build, the company and it's people.
This is such a sad turn of events. It's also very weird given how much Yahoo has been talking up the success of the partnership with Facebook around the open graph.

#9Well, Facebook is a patent troll too right? Still, very sad. When will software patents finally go away?!

#10When a technology company starts suing on patents, you know it's stopped doing something else: innovating and competing.
It's really sad to see Yahoo! becoming the SCO of social networking.
