Well, it now appears that some exec changes at Yahoo are underway.
This new Reuters story, "Yahoo to reorganize, CFO Decker gets key role," reports that Decker will take charge of a new Yahoo unit that will focus on advertising and is now the likely succesor to CEO Terry Semel when he retires.
So what about another contender for the CEO position, COO Daniel Rosensweig?
According to Reuters, Daniel Rosensweig will leave the company in March.
From the article,
"As far as layoffs go, we are absolutely organizing for growth," Semel, who is also Yahoo's chairman, told Reuters in an interview to discuss the moves. "We continue to hire."
The company is reorganizing into two business segments: Audiences, which will oversee media, e-commerce, search and communication products and services, and Advertisers and Publishers, which makes money from ads aimed at the audiences. Decker will head the latter, the company said in a statement.
The Wall Street Journal's Kevin Delaney,
is also reporting that Lloyd Braun, head of Yahoo's Entertainment Group, will also leave the company, "say the people familiar with the matter."

But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?
Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.
What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
