Carol Bartz was almost subdued on
today's earnings call. Missing were the
salty outbursts of previous conference calls, but she did manage one zinger. Apparently, one of Yahoo's problems before was an inflexible content management system which couldn't deal with rolling out new features quickly or interactivity. According to Bartz, "to do a blogging event was an extremely hard engineering feat." Well, now after spending a lot of time and money creating a new content management system (Yahoo News is now on it as of yesterday), Bartz says Yahoo is ready to dive headfirst into the online media business. Instead of a technology stack, she talks about a "content stack," with original Yahoo editorial on top, followed by licensed news and articles from other sources, "pro blogging," and then crowdsourced news and information at the bottom (presumably, that will come from her
Associated Content acquisition).
