A Quote by Masayoshi Son

Yahoo was Jerry Yang's baby. He did a great job creating the baby. Unfortunately, some of the key executives after the foundation of the company couldn't keep up with the technology innovation of the industry. They thought that Yahoo should become a media company.

I said from the very beginning, 'Yahoo should position itself as a technology innovation company, not as a media company.'

Masayoshi Son

Yahoo is a great company, and anyone should be proud to be CEO.

Brad Garlinghouse

I remember working with a guy named Andrew Braccia at Yahoo, and Yahoo was the company that bought Flickr. Everyone on his team was hard working and reliable, did what they said they were going to do, on top of everything, and seemed to be operating at this level of productivity and effectiveness that I found difficult to manage to.

Stewart Butterfield

I myself saw Yahoo become a $100 billion company and then become a $10 billion company, so you always have to look at valuations with a grain of salt and understand it is a point-in-time measure.

Brian Acton

I don't think that Yahoo or any other Internet company should try to become a television network. We will be nowhere if we have to create our own content.

Terry Semel

Innovation in an existing company is not just the sum of great technology, key acquisitions, or smart people. Corporate innovation needs a culture that matches and supports it.

Steve Blank

Combining the premium content and reach of Yahoo! as the world's leading digital media company with Facebook provides branded advertisers with unmatched opportunity.

Ross Levinsohn

One of the blessings I've had, really, for my entire career, is working with founders of companies, whether it was Bill Ziff at Ziff Davis or with Jerry Yang and David Filo at Yahoo.

Dan Rosensweig

I think Yahoo is a great company, with great assets.

Jack Ma

When I left Yahoo, I was really looking for an early stage company that had some complexities and things that needed to be figured out.

Belinda Johnson

Yahoo is a global technology company that provides personalized products and services, including search, advertising, content, and communications in more than 45 languages in 60 countries. As a pioneer of the World Wide Web, we enjoy some of the longest-lasting customer relationships on the Web.

Alex Stamos

A company's culture is the foundation for future innovation. An entrepreneurs job is to build the foundation

Brian Chesky

Yahoo is a company that is very strong in content.

Carol Bartz

Google (and Bing and Yahoo!) don't 'owe' any company traffic. If a company has to spend more on advertising on Google, in addition to investing in search-engine-optimization, that is not a violation of any law.

Marvin Ammori

If they had listened to me and had equal partnerships in China, the U.K., Germany and Brazil, maybe Yahoo in those countries could have become positioned like Yahoo Japan.

Masayoshi Son

Facebook, Google, Apple, Yahoo - there's a common theme. None of these companies ever sold. By staying independent, they were able to build a great company.
