The Wall Street Journal broke the news yesterday that Carol Bartz, former CEO of Autodesk, Inc., would be replacing Jerry Yang as CEO of Yahoo! I thought this was some great news and decided to share it with my fellow Internet marketers on Sphinn – http://sphinn.com/story/96678 Update: (Sphinn Post Removed)

Turns out nobody really gives a fuck about Yahoo!.

Within 2 and half hours I was still the only one who had sphunn the article:

who-cares-about-yahoo

So, I let it sit over night and FINALLY only 1 other person at Sphinn thought this news was note worthy:

who-cares-about-yahoo2

Thanks mrbluuez!

What appears to be hot right now is Social Media and Twitter. The two articles submitted just before and just after the news of Yahoo’s new CEO received 21 more votes making social media and twitter 1050% more important than Yahoo! (Can somewhat agree there).

So, does no one really give a fuck that Yahoo! has a new CEO? Is Yahoo really that worthless of a company now?

Sometimes the truth hurts – sorry Yahoo!

When I read the Everfluxx posting on Google Notebook Spam (Sphinn Post – Everfluxx Blog) it reminded me of something I stumbled across months ago in the Yahoo! index. So, I decided to revisit the situation and see if Yahoo! was still ranking a Google Notebook spam page on the first page of it’s search results for the keyword phrase “arizona golf vacations”. Low and behold – it is still there and ranked at #6! Check it out:

If you visit the Notebook page you can click on the user name and see the extensive list of spam Notebook pages created. They are all single notebook pages with links to parked domains with landing page advertising.

Shame on Google for not picking up on this. Especially considering the account has been spamming since October 2007.

Double Shame on Yahoo! for even allowing this page to be included in their index.

Triple Shame on Yahoo! for even allowing it to rank 6th.
