+ Semel on social networking software..."'At this moment in time, it's exciting, it's interesting, it's viral,' said CEO Terry Semel, a former Warner Brothers studio co-chief, at a Commonwealth Club meeting in Santa Clara, California. 'We haven't seen any business models around it yet. It's an area we watch very closely.'"
+ Yang on new search technology... "'At the end of the day, you just don't use one search engine,'" Jerry Yang, a Yahoo co-founder and director, told attendees at the Commonwealth Club meeting, pointing to what he saw as Yahoo's growing relevance as a search provider."
+ Semel on ending relationship with Google... "Semel said that, in the end, in addition to wanting to create its own answer to Google, Yahoo needed search technology that was customized for use by its more than 130 million registered users. 'We had been licensing technology that was not custom made for Yahoo,' Semel said, referring to using Google's search results." See Also: An Ad-Free Yahoo?
